The plural of anecdote is not data.
The facts are that Evernote has in excess of 30M users, with lots of paying users and growing rapidly. There is no evidence that this mythical complexity is affecting adoption.
And I don't see how Google Drive and Evernote are competition. Very different use cases.
- ok_craig 14y agoThat's why I said "I assume." Also, Evernote being successful does not actually counter my point. That people are using it and that it's growing does not mean there isn't a separate or overlapping set of users who want something simpler.
- magicalist 14y agoWho are you even talking to? The post you replied to just made an argument for why this would be a viable product for some people, which is exactly what the topmost post asked for opinions on. The only possible phrase that could be construed as needing "data" to back it up is "lots of people" being unsatisfied with evernote's complexity (which is not a statement about that affecting evernote's adoption, incidentally), and it's a statement that could arguably be satisfied with an anecdote in any case. You pulled the trigger on the negativity gun a little early here, even for you.
