I used Evernote fairly extensively a couple of years ago. It had a long way to go back then.
In OneNote if you want a table you can type something and hit tab. What you wrote will be in a cell, and you will be inserting in the next cell. Tab again for another cell. Cells created like this merge if placed together. Tables in general are leagues ahead in OneNote.
One note also acts like a note book. you can write anywhere on the page. Evernote acts like a traditional text application. There is a single text area. It's difficult to explain without demonstrating, but it feels more natural.
The hierarchical nature of Pages, Sections and Section Groups works better for me then Evernote.
Shared notebooks with live update are really awesome in OneNote as well.
Finally I had more merge conflicts with Evernote, and lost data, but yymv.
I was about to ask "what is the difference between OneNote and Evernote" since I haven't used OneNote since 2006 and am obsessed with Evernote, and you just nailed it. Thank you.
