A good start. But...

The USP of Evernote isn't that you can take notes from anywhere as much as anything can be a note (An audio clip, your current location, a picture etc) and that can be very well organised, grouped and saved in the cloud and offline on demand.

It's basically a "database" for the non techies: Save everything in there and query by tags, organise by books or search in the content and meta data.

And that there is an app for most platforms. I'd actually love to see an open source version of OneNote (pen based abilities, search performance and OCR capabilities) more than Evernote.

I've been looking for a replacement for Evernote for a while. So far I've tried wikis, bluenote, vim + git + markdown. The most important feature keeping me with Evernote is the ability to drag and drop images.

  vim + git + markdown
This, actually using vimwiki, is my setup for both my private knowledge management/kind of diary system and my lab notebook at work for quite some time now. Works flawlessly. See [0] for a pretty nice setup.

Doesn't solve your image issue, but for text-only it's a pretty nice solution if you're comfortably living in vim anyway.

You might like the open source Zim: http://zim-wiki.org/

It's completely replaced Evernote for me. You can drag and drop images from a browser or the file system.
