David Barber returns to Evernote after a dalliance with Bear:

When I’m using Evernote, it becomes my central repository for receipts, travel plans, info that came to me via email, desk scraps, web-clips, and quick thoughts. I don’t even have to think about it.

I used Evernote from 2008 to 2016, but the data lock-in, ads, feature bloat, and outrageous price hikes eventually pushed me to DevonThink. Since its acquisition by Bending Spoons, it has improved significantly. People like David are choosing it over excellent alternatives. This is an amazing and unexpected turnaround.
