How do you save websites on zotero, as pdf?
I think I misunderstood what the parent meant by "article". I use Zotero for academic journal articles and books. I think you can import website links too, though.
I replaced Evernote with Dropbox Paper and haven't looked back.
Dropbox Paper is a good Evernote replacement- cutover one year ago, very satisfied. Great note taking tool, markdown engine has very efficient keyboard shortcuts to generate inline blocks and other useful formatting (incl code blocks), easy to drop photos or files inline, good search, good sharing, reliable sync, and a “Save to Dropbox” icon on IOS (send to from Safari) to use as a replacement for Evernote webclippin…

I use OneNote - it's really great. Until it suddenly decides it doesn't want to sync anymore.
I would pay to be able to make onenote only use the local filesystem and not be allowed to connect to the internet at all except when I manually decide to. Their syncing is garbage! Lord forbid you find yourself on a plane. Suddenly all your notes, inaccessible, even if you synced them an hour prior.
If Evernote hasn't found a set of features people would be willing to pay for in their ten years of existing, I doubt another round of funding is really the solution. I'd much rather see them reduce their staff to an amount they can afford given their MRR, and focus on fleshing out the features that people are actually willing to pay for.

I can't believe Microsoft hasn't bought it yet. Why on earth would they want to? OneNote runs on everything, ties in well with Office, and covers the big ticket features that Evernote does. I'm a vimwiki user for the most of what Evernote/OneNote cover, but what I can't believe is that Evernote users haven't saved Microsoft the trouble, and just switched to OneNote. I mean, if you're going to go walled-garden, Micros…

And now they're going to axe the "good" version. Lemmee just alt-tab back over to vim here and make a note of that...
I've been an Evernote user for a long time, but it's been ages since I've felt that they're actually user-focused by way of improving holes like poor functional parity across their apps(1). As a outsider, a huge amount of energy felt squandered on a shotgun-strategy of special-purpose apps while a stream of core app rebuilds launched, none of which significantly moved the functional needle. I've been exploring altern…
I would be happy if Evernote was "done". I pay for a subscription, I am not interested in paying for new features, I would simply be happy if it went into eternal feature freeze and only did security and compatibility updates. Of course this kind of thing won't happen but maybe it says something about the optimization pitfalls of our economy.

I suppose the set of features I need covered include: - Web clipping. Evernotes browser plugins are pretty darn good here. - Notes with attachments (images, PDFs, etc.). Some of these are mixed-media notes, where text, images, and/or file attachments are mixed to create a comprehensive document about some topic. Others are "pure" attachments, e.g. "store this PDF where I can retrieve it by search". - Note taking. Thi…
So, you feel search in Evernote is good? Personally I've found it severely lacking. I can't tell you how many times I've searched for something that I know is there (and that I do find after manually looking for it), but search comes up empty.

Well, that's one of the reasons I just settled on vimwiki despite having used OneNote since it was an internal build when I worked at Microsoft. I'm tired of chasing it around. Included with Office. Not included with your version. Runs on Mac, but only online and no local storage. Doesn't have that important feature the Windows version does. Had shared notebooks for ten years, permissions system still sucks goat ball…
