I have had a love-hate relationship with Evernote for nearly a decade, but during the past year and a half I have been gradually shifting most of my notes into OneNote, using the OneNote Batch converter. I miss Evernote’s tags (and rapid syncing) but not much else.
I have also been experimenting lately with CintaNotes, which seems to work admirably for purely textual material such as my numerous lists of bibliographical references. CintaNotes has the best tagging system I’ve ever encountered.

A lifehacks article, too: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-jump-ship-from-evernote-and-take-your-data-with-1782841075
I moved everything out to html files this morning. Most of the content I already moved to either SimpleNote or Notecase, but not a bad idea to have a backup. I can just load it into Chrome and search.

OneNote is different on every OS too—isn’t that unavoidable? It’s a very complicated and expensive proposition to try to deploy, maintain, and enhance a common set of features across multiple OS and succeed at every one. The concept of a “universal” app is a pipe dream.

Can’t entirely agree with you, Paul. Look at DayOne for iOS and Mac… almost identical interface. Look at Scrivener for Mac and PC (and soon iOS). Look at Notebooks for iOS, Mac and PC. Look at TheBrain.
There are naturally going to be some differences, but with Evernote its like using different apps altogether. At least that’s how it feels to me.
