Trapped inside evernote World – Evernote - Notes Organizer Review

Apart from incredibly slowed down functionality (to the point where it’s like watching grass grow), notes clipped are corrupted or don’t display in original format. I hate that I can’t export anything unless it’s in Evernote file format. Having been a premium and business Superfan subscriber (including owning many moleskine, post it and marketplace products), I’m trapped in Evernote World. Google Keep is becoming a viable option and also reference managers such as Scrible where I can create documents in standard programs with links to online sources directly rather than Evernote. Why would anyone present within evernote when PowerPoint/keynote is preferable, ditto for word processing. It seems they haven’t shifted in tune with users and despite feature requests, customer service is non responsive. I would love to escape if only I could retrieve my work and library of research. Meeting agendas, note taking and to do lists can be handled by other programs so would assume reference management, file storage functionality is the only “ownable” benefit but it’s useless without considering how people want to use information they collect and store. An expensive black hole. Dropbox paper and google docs cover the collaboration side now too. They need something that adds value again not more messaging and check boxes - how can we use the stuff once it’s in the system (research, tag, store isn’t worth it without a create and export). How can information in evernote be useful when creating presentations or writing papers etc if you can’t get it out or bring it in to wherever you need it?
