Wow - my main takeaway from this thread is that I really need to get myself a Mac and lock myself in a room for a couple of weeks for some serious crimping :)

Re Clibu: I had tried it back in 2014 (my login still worked, and I saw my notes from then).

It is fast and has some great formatting features. No native apps but that’s not a dealbreaker as long as the website works great on mobile browsers, which I haven’t tried yet. No offline access, but for me that’s not a dealbreaker either.
No sharing or group features that I can see. To me that’s a plus - it shows that they are not getting distracted with team features when what I want is a personal knowledge manager.

However, I tried the Web clipper on a couple of sites and could not get satisfactory results. That’s a dealbreaker for me. On the plus side, the web clipper interface is very full-featured - allows you to clip a selection of content and assign tags and notebooks and add additional descriptions right in the clipper. If the clipping worked better, it would be a serious contender.

Additionally, if Clibu wants to capitalize on the abandonment of Evernote, it would be great if they developed an Evernote import tool. But I realize that may not be worth the potentially very high development cost.
