I do have about 15,000 notes in Evernote. Evernote is a mixed experience, that's true. The Windows client is far worse than the Mac client. The iOS client is pretty slow. Usable on my iPad air, unusable slow on the iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, Evernote keeps adding features which clutter the UI if you don't need that feature, such as the latest one: Work Chat, or before that Presentation Mode. Evernote is great at unstructured personal documents. If your documents are all structured, OneNote might be a better choice (or DEVONthink for the Mac). It does kind of work as a group collaboration tool, but you can tell that this is not its primary purpose. They also tend to rewrite the client from scratch. The Windows client is the third complete rewritten one. Mac has been rewritten twice. iOS either twice or three times. Right now they have a UI that is somewhat hard on the elderly because the UI element frames are difficult to distinguish (light gray on white). With Google Keep I wouldn't trust it to stay around long enough. -- Christof --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cal4qjhhzbmjrnz4yadnj9sdt5guygbkcn+lg0x1ktc71cap...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
