Ben’s blow at Sketch seemed a little excessive to me, but that is the painful path that Evernote has decided to follow to survive. Although the target market is designers and sketch is not multi platform, being full native is hard.

Unfortunately Evernote has destroyed its performance by doing so. The Evernote support boards are full of angry paying users figuring out how to downgrade versions and discussing alternatives.
Don’t tell me... I am a paying EN customer.
Although I find that the biggest performance impact is not Electron but that now you don’t have a local database and a lot of requests are going through the network before the caching mechanisms kick in.
In my opinion, it’s the correct move to make but incredibly hard. Now they have launched v10 they have at most and additionaa billing cycle (12 months) to start cranking out compelling features and polishing the product.
My concern with EN is that they bleed so many paying users that they end being unsustainable. Time will tell.
