#2Recently I discovered Nimbus Note, an Evernote/OneNote hybrid. Great for capturing ideas and moments with audio, video or notes. Been using it constantly: http://nimbus.everhelper.me/note.php

#3They really needed $20M?

On a side note, I hate how most windows desktop software (including Evernote) just don't bother adapting to High-Res displays.

They wouldn't even hand out a Yosemite beta before the release date. They had one, but they wouldn't give it out.

Does it have advantages over Evernote?

#6I wonder about the long term viability of services like Evernote. I use them, but I would never pay for the service. If I got an email from them stating they'd be going out of business, I probably would move my notes out, maybe?
For those who've paid for the service, why?

I haven’t gone premium yet, but it’s not out of the question. Being able to share notes and use them offline would be nice and I might upgrade in the future.
I also use Simplenote, but I have found their syncing to be too unreliable when sharing notes with others.

#8Wait, Evernote raised $70M at a $1B valuation in 2012. This funding round seems low. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the alternative. One of my pet peeves with most cross-platform software is no native Linux client. They've made great strides with the web client (recent UI overhaul), but I still find the Windows desktop client slow to respond.
Nimbus doesn't have a native Linux client either.
I don't blame these companies if Linux users are a miniscule minority.

The next place you move it too will be developers giving away the service for free thinking they can be profitable down the road but what they don't know is that they have millions of you as their customer. They will shutdown and then you move on to the next free service. The issue with evernote is that they applied the get big quick model fir customer acquisition and they scooped up a lot of tuna instead if samon. Compare this to slack which applied a more targeted approach to customer acquisition with a more focused product.
Evernote needs to weed out customers like you as quickly as possible but it will require a more streamlined product.
