Visual hierarchical organization as opposed to tag search is what I prefer, so that's a plus for Onenote. Evernote actually used to be better at doing that, but they obfuscated it for no reason, like so many things. Also, Onenote seems to handle sync conflicts better than Evernote. I once emptied my trash in Evernote and it decided to delete the live versions of all the old sync-conflict duplicates I'd trashed. I lost about a third of my notes. That's when I realized I needed to change. One other downside is that the OS X version of Onenote is not quite full-featured. It's not missing anything essential, but e.g. you can only have one window at a time, for some reason. Basically, my use case is personal notes and data, mainly formatted text rather than images or websites, for my own use, organized hierarchically for easy browsing. Onenote is ideal for that. If you're big on group sharing, or clipping web pages, or tag search, or whatever the hell else Evernote thinks they're optimizing for, then I can't tell you much.
