#2Sigh.
Considering how much I love and use penultimate (Every. Single. Day), I'm hope that _this time_ acquisition won't result in a product getting a dose of its acquiring company spang in the middle of the interface, the simplicity, whatever.
Congrats to the cocoabox team, though—if anyone deserves it, they do.

#3Good purchase for Evernote. Integrating Evernote into Penultimate would make me use it a lot more and Evernote's OCR/search will hopefully be added to it.

Based on Skitch, I'd say the only changes will be to a) make it free and b) add options to make it easier to send content to Evernote.
Evernote is the one acquirer who I do not fear as a user.

#6I've been waiting for this sort of acquisition from Evernote. As an avid Evernote user, this is a feature that has been sorely lacking, especially for the tablet note taking format. Love it!

Readable also got a lot of improvements when it turned into Evernote Clearly.

#8I've always loved Evernote IN THEORY. It makes sense to organize your notes through technology, to attach an 'external brain', if you will. Still, I've never been able to really use Evernote the way they intend. I'll throw up a few notes, only to drift away, leaving the notes alone. There's no organization that I've been able to achieve with the platform. Maybe it's just a threshold of initial effort that I haven't crossed, or maybe I just don't take enough notes.
Still, I'm glad for this purchase. I think it shows that Evernote understands their base and has a strategy in mind to improve their offerings. Maybe I'll start using Evernote more now.

I didn't get Evernote for the longest time but then it made way more sense to me when I bought a tiny double sided scanner and started scanning and shredding all my paper, bills, documents. Then I started forwarding all emails with attachments to my Evernote account. Then I started sharing my folders with my wife and using the mobile app. Now it's the central hub for all my information. Since it's all OCR'd I find anything instantly. Of course I had to upgrade to the paid version but at 1GB of NEW storage per month it's a pretty good deal.
The one feature I miss from MS OneNote is the ability to have audio synced to the text of a note which is fricken awesome for taking meeting minutes.

I found it takes some investment before it really becomes useful. I didn't get it at the start but now being able to search through notes and clippings I made years ago is really helpful. They have also made great improvements in notebook organisation which I love. I find it a bit unsettling that I'm storing so much data with one company (not that I don't trust them but that at some point they might go away) but they seem to me like a great company who would make it easy to get all your data out if they were ever shutting down.
