Am I the only one that read the article article as having a distinct Astroturfing feel about it ?
Also, Evernote is definitely not the kind of company that really needs astroturfers. I think this is just an enthusiastic article.
That said, some PAINFULLY obvious things which would be hugely benficial for adoption;
- LaTex support built in
- Markdown (either in every note, or allowing you to add 'markdown' boxes, if just for writing code)
And a stretch goal;
- Better PDF/attachment integration. In a perfect world there would be a Dropbox extension which creates an "Evernote" folder in your Dropbox and any attachments are automatically stored in a notebook-hierarchy file-system within that folder. This would autoupdate to reflect what's going on in Evernote.
Actually, all that stuff is why I don't like Evernote. It's so featureful, it means that its mobile clients are quite heavyweight and thus quite slow to boot. When I open my notes, I want them 5 seconds ago, looking right at the last notes I entered anywhere. I can wait for games and Netflix and whatnot to boot, but Notes need to be the snappiest freaking things on Earth. Evernote is not. I have to wait for it to ope…
Good to see Evernote has caught up to the single application made by Microsoft that I completely adore: OneNote. It's in a similar boat: if you take advantage of all its features, you can basically live inside the application. This was a few years ago now, and I've moved to Mac, Linux and iOS, so alas, I use iClouds Reminders and Notes app for everything now.
Evernote + Dropbox means that I am basically device/OS/location agnostic for all my information needs, which given that I switch between 3-4 machines (all with different OSs) regularly is absolutely crucial.

I have close to 1,000 bookmarks and I'm really too lazy to sort them, but there might be some useful stuff in it. Thing is, I don't know without clicking on them.
Does anyone know of a program that crawls all the bookmarks and tries to automatically tag them?
I could simply wget everything, but I'm more interested in some sort of tagging, classifying, indexing based on the headline and keywords, although not all bookmarks are articles.
Evernote would be maybe 500% more useful for me if it had code highlighting and markdown support.

I'm working on integrating Evernote into my everyday life, and finally just purchased the level of Dropbox I need for backup. I have 5 devices that I use semi-regularly to all the time and it is fantastic to be able to shift between all 5 devices seamlessly.
I love the idea of Evernote but their implementation is absolutely horrible. The slow and cluttered UI has frustrated me to no end. Please, someone, make a good alternative for Evernote.
