I like Evernote a lot ...
Evernote has great discoverability of notes. Search works. And when viewing a note it suggests related notes. With the browser extension it even suggests notes in Google's Search (too bad I'm now using DuckDuckGo), related to what you searched for.
I also like the multimedia support, like being able to record audio. Other people like web clippings. Unfortunately their business isn't sustainable, as we can see and I'm thinking of switching.
The "encrypted text within a note" is pretty cool too, although I haven't used it much.
Frankly, I can't find a replacement that works as well. I hope they can restructure, but with only $10MM annual revenue, I don't see how that's possible.
So on the alternatives I'm thinking of:
1. Other proprietary alternatives — like Dropbox Paper, which is nice, but Dropbox has killed products I liked before, therefore sorry Dropbox, but you're not fooling me again; this actually goes for other note taking apps out there; fool me once, shame on me, etc.
2. Something based on open standards — e.g. Apple Notes is OK, but very basic when you sync it with FastMail or a Google Account; this is what I was using before Evernote; I might go back to it
3. Open Source — Standard Notes (standardnotes.org): love the idea, open source, end to end encrypted, does daily backups in Dropbox which is awesome; unfortunately it's not very polished, had issues with it
So if I'm going to switch, I'm going to choose either open source or something that syncs with my email or Dropbox account.
