Evernote came a decade or so after Microsoft's OneNote. Evernote did make Microsoft improve their product though. It seemed as Microsoft was improving OneNote, Evernote started to go backwards.
- duxup 7y agoTIL I had no idea OneNote even existed until well after Evernote, and I worked at a lot of places using Microsoft products.... strange.
- bluGill 7y agoOneNote still feels like Microsoft's best kept secret. It is a simple solution to the common problem of taking notes. I'm convinced one of my previous bosses got several promotions just because he used OneNote to keep track of notes.
- barking 7y agoApparently onenote sucked at synochronisation at one point which didn't do its reputation much good Also they are replacing the windows app with one of those universal windows applications which involved a temporary loss of a lot of features. Coming late to onenote myself, neither of these have been problems for me.
- duxup 7y agoIn a technical support department where documentation is largely controlled / poorly controlled by a small group... I know of folks who have a lot of 'secret' one note documents that are quite popular inside the company ;)
- barking 7y agoApparently it's real common amongst university students for holding their entire collection of notes.
