In the credits he calls Evernote "slightly evil", anyone know why?

Probably because of the changes that they made to Skitch 2 - they removed loads of features (which have been slowly added back).

Its in my gut. For some reason I dont trust them. They have weird paid vs free rules. They control the data(You can get it out).

OpenNote is designed to be a simple alternative. You control the data. You can see the code. Your information in your control.

EverNote is not bad. However, in my gut I dont trust them.

Plus it was time for an open source third alternative.
