Amen. Evernote really botched things with 3.5.The dropped functionality with no appropriate substitute, the crappy looking interface, the buggy and slow implementation. You just have to wonder what they were thinking.

After a week of using 3.5 I converted all of my online notebooks to local, cancelled my Premium subscription, and uninstalled Evernote from my iPhone. I will use 3.1 as a standalone notebook from now on. I will no longer support their product in any other way – neither by paying for Premium nor recommending it to friends.

I join you in turning in the general direction of EN headquarters and saying “Fuck you Evernote!”

There's already been plenty of ranting going on over at the Evernote forums regarding the numerous functionality and performance bugs, I saw no need to go over those again myself.

All you can find wrong with Evernote is aesthetics? Really? With so much that is wrong under the hood (aside from cross platform syncing), 3.5 is the first version of Evernote that -doesn't- look like a bad java applet (for one), and two it actually has a somewhat fluid feel to it compared to the pre 3.5 days.

As much as I hate that clunky overhead toolbar (the only real change in your mock-up version over theirs), it isn't half as bad as the previous version.

I hate to say it, but this is par for the course for Evernote. I used to be a serious evangelist for them, back in the 2.2 days. But they switched to 3.1 and a new paradigm that focuses on more users with less knowledge, rather than on the functionality that the few power users loved. There are still power users who haven't moved from 2.2 Myself, I made the switch to 3.1, but only because I had stopped doing serious research work with the tool. Now, I'm going to hang onto 3.1 as long as possible, because 3.5 seems to be crap, even less powerful than 3.1. Sigh.

Let me know if you find a good substitute for capturing/organizing random stuff!
