I wanted to love Evernote, even swore by it for a time, but after a few months of extensive use, it becomes apparent that they don't care about customers outside of their business plans. Feature requests as old as 5 years get ignored while they keep pushing out features that would make Evernote more like a powerpoint alternative than a note-taking app.
Personally I want to think this is happening because better alternatives have been popping up. There's bear and omnifocus and, recently, notion.so that does a lot more than Evernote for a relatively cheaper price.
Also all of them have dark modes while Evernote doesn't.
Evernote, like so many apps before it, has fallen head-first into the go-big-or-go-home trap.
These companies start a desperate, doomed-to-fail chase of a gigantic market, at the expense of their small-but-profitable niche. It's understandable from their board members' perspective, because a nice 5% ROI is not what they're after. They need that moonshot, even if chasing it likely results in losing everything.

Between Apple Notes, Bear, and OmniFocus I have no reason to use Evernote. They all do what they focus on well, cost less over time, and are proper native apps to boot.
For OmniFocus in particular I also have the assurance that its maker isn’t just going to up and vanish any time soon. They’ve been around since the NeXTSTEP days and are quite healthy.
I'm looking at the Omni products and they seem all great. But I might be transitioning from iPhone to Android in the next 24 months and am afraid of losing a lot of investment.
