I use OneNote every day and am reasonably satisfied with it, but this blog post
http://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-working-new-app-experience-onenote-platforms/
left me feeling rather uneasy. If I am reading between the lines correctly, MS if focusing almost entirely on the development of the Windows 10 (i.e. tablet) version, because the desktop version (OneNote 2016) is thought to be too complicated for most users. I worry that ON 2016 will be gradually dumbed down to make it more like the tablet version. Is my anxiety at all justifiedl, I wonder?

If this is what worries you my friend, you must lead an enviably uncomplicated life.

Wasn’t the Evernote trajectory similar? Didn’t they start off with a more sophisticated desktop version and then abandoned their power users in favour of growing the user base with a dumbed-down version?

I admit I have a fairly high level of anxiety about software, because at various times in the past I’ve seen my favorite apps be either abandoned or shifted in the wrong direction.
And surely one of the pleasures of this forum is watching other people obsess over software problems?

Indeed it is. Without direct or vicarious software obsession how could we be CRIMPers!
