Why Evernote failed to realize its potential

I'm still using google keep and I am concerned about privacy, looking for a an alternative that's neither of those programs.

So far I've been trying to use Gitlab with a bunch of text files. That works, sort of, for more long form notes, but not quite captures the UI.

I'm looking harder and harder on TODO.txt (I didn't know it was open-source). http://todotxt.org/

Currently I'm on Apple's notes app. There are lots of things I don't like about it - rich text formatting needs to die - but it gets the job done and has "jot-ability". I've thought about writing my own dead-simple notes app but just never had the time. Plaintext, dropbox backup, simple substring search, maybe tags, maybe markdown.
