Evernote Basic accounts will be limited to two devices

What are some great replacements? I know of Google Keep and One Note. I won't use Keep for anything except ephemeral notes because Google will likely kill it at some random point in the future and One Note looks good, but the UI doesn't click with me.

Simplenote is great except it's text only.

Wikis are nice, except the friction to add and retrieve is too high.

So I'm kind of stuck. I don't use Evernote very often (10-15 times per year), but when I do it does what I need it to do.

I'm probably going to use Google Drive/Docs now. Just as good as Evernote, and it even keeps a revision history, which is nice.

I would rather use a self-hosted solution though. I'm still uneasy with the idea of all my information being on the cloud and scanned by the NSA.

Me too. It surprises me that there aren't any great open source alternatives. Evernote's OCR was at times magical (it does a very good job on my hand written notes) and I've always wondered if they licensed that or built it.
