That and the Mac and Windows versions had functionality that didn't work in the web or Android versions. So you could read notes that others sent you.

The web version would also reasonably regularly save 100 versions of the same note. Support queries on this got a shrug response and "yeah don't use the web client".

So I switched how I do notes and ditched Evernote.

I'm in the same boat with the text files in a dropbox folder. I thought about just emailing myself notes to a notes-only account, but I'm not sure there much of an advantage there over Dropbox. Still, files in a folder checks all the boxes for me. Compatible with everything forever, can organize and reorganize as creatively as I want, lightweight, can search my notes and sort a bunch of different ways, and osx even supports tags.

Granted, this is a little clunkier on mobile, but for quick notes I use drafts which is the speediest note taking app I've found (opens directly to writing prompt, one button save or append to dropbox files).

Is there a way to make notes on a phone and save to dropbox? Sounds good but I"ve never tried.

I think the dropbox UI does give that option, at least to edit existing text files... I tend to use google's keep myself these days though.

Drafts (iOS app) can do that. And it can save to Evernote as well.

But between Pinboard & Drafts, I don't use Evernote any more.

I've tried Drafts (and pretty much every other app that supports Dropbox sync) and none felt as intuitive as Notebooks[1]. There is even a free iPhone version[2] you can try. Has support for Markdown and Webdav as well!
