> It works on basically every platform Except, you know, Linux :) It's also quite slow and I'd rather spend as little time as possible managing my time than waiting for the UI to load and having to mouse around for everything. (Not to mention all those times where some of my notes were synchronized into oblivion, never to be found again) I am much more effective using a hierarchy of text files and some simple macros to navigate it, works offline and it's incredibly easy to sync between machines.

You don't have web browsers on Linux? ;-)

  Sorry, but switching to the browser window and opening a tab (or finding a particular tab in the list) takes orders of magnitude more time compared to using a global keyboard shortcut to pop up my program.

    You can create a shortcut to a website and accomplish the same thing

      There are more shortcuts inside the program itself... A time/task manager should get in and out of the way as quickly as possible, loading a website just won't cut it, for me.

True, they don't have a native client but it works well enough via wine.

I haven't used the web client much, so couldn't really comment on that, but I've found the windows, mac, and android clients to be very fast. Even full-text searching is almost instantaneous, and I certainly don't find myself waiting for the UI to load. Nor do I use the mouse much. Their keyboard shortcuts are quite extensive: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23168552 https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23168552 Anyway, to each their own. I just wouldn't want someone to give EN a pass without trying it, thinking it's slow and lacks keyboard shortcuts.

"> It works on basically every platform Except, you know, Linux :)" What about NixNote and Everpad ? Didn't use them but I remember they were touted as unofficial Evernote clients for Linux when I was considering switching.
