I have never used evernote, so I can't say anything about your use case, but wrt point 2, you should give http://workflowy.com a try.
What is Workflowy? The page is just asking for me to signup without providing any details on what it is, and then there is a bunch of people saying how great it is.
I have been a loyal Evernote premium payer since 2009, and using it even longer. For a long time I recommended it to friends but since have stopped. I have developed some concerns with it over the years. 1. Fear of data loss... it's probably the largest part of my mistrust of all these dang cloud services that want to control/own me or otherwise lock me into their service. I run a 99.999% uptime, extreme scale, SaaS…
I'm an evernote user too. I use it's very basic free account and I never had any problem. But I to edit notes rarely and don't depend on it. However, given your level of expertise not finding a note-taking solution, seems ridiculous. Doesn't feel like a real problem . I never understood how a note-keeping application can attract that kind of money Evernote does, but then again there are many things I don't understand…
Evernote solves a great problem awesomely and at the moment for my personal use case. For now I'd rather focus on optimizing other things.

I'm a premium Evernote member, but I've also had lots of problems. The iOS app is slow and clunky. I hate using it. It crashes all the time, especially when I'm trying to take snapshots of a document with many pages (and all previous snapshots simply disappear). The desktop app is better, but they really could improve the writing experience. Pasting HTML blobs is impossible, and so is formatting my notes the way I wa…

Try Devonthink. http://www.devontechnologies.com No affiliation, just love the software.
I agree. I've had multiple friends swear by Evernote and every time I tried, I'd get a few hours into it and find some annoying limitation. DevonThink gives me everything I need. They're a bit behind on having a good sync solution for iOS, but they've been actively working on it for a long time now and it should be coming soon.
If you store data in a format that's not future proof, using software that's not open source, then you don't really get to complain when your data disappears. Especially if you're not storing the files locally and making regular backups.

Linux support is fine, if you're willing to accept HTML5 and JavaScript executing who knows what in your browser.
If evernote can't make a good text editor with HTML5 and JavaScript then it proves that apps in the browser is a dead end. Text editor is basically, the "cost of entry" and if an entire team focused on that single feature can't deliver it after years, well... I'm not really surprised given the state of JavaScript (collectively ruined by Mozilla's lack of resources and Google's ill will) and HTML5 (collectively ruined by nobody giving a shit about the language before their own interests).
Given the crumbling of infrastructure of the web, I'm kind of surprised anyone still uses the internet at all for anything more important than facebook and tabloid news. Maybe nobody does?
