God what has evernote done? Skitch was perfect, it's the most complete easy to use screenshot/annotation app i've ever used and is on my daily toolbelt since forever but with this update Evernote totally ruined the experience. Why on earth would they downgrade skitch? If they rewrote it they could as well just called it Evershot and released it as a separate App.

I'm back to using 1.X for now.

Evernote, you guys have a long way to go with Skitch before it's back to where it was.

PS: I do like the new design though, they made it "look" sexy, the problem is that it's all facade :(

>Skitch was perfect

Really? While I'm somewhat fond of Skitch, some of us find the UX rather confusing. The menu's were cluttered, and for the most part does not operate on common design patterns.

For example, nearly all image apps allow your to draw a box to crop. Skitch re-invents the wheel, and asks the user to learn their method: Dragging the inside border of the inner canvas. Yup.. actually had use Google to figure it out :/
