I love the idea of Evernote but their implementation is absolutely horrible. The slow and cluttered UI has frustrated me to no end.

Please, someone, make a good alternative for Evernote.

I agree, for some reason Evernote always rubbed me the wrong way.

An alternative I really like is Springpad. You can write notes or Todos, put in notebooks with tags, or take a picture. It recognizes what a "movie" is and gives you extra information. Multiple people can collaborate on a notebook. Plugins are for Firefox and Chrome; I mostly use the Android client. I found it easy and fun to worth with!

I agree ... I've used Evernote on and off for years for occasional notes. And I still have to hunt for the 'new note' button everytime I want to click it.

I agree, I don't even load the app on my Macbook. Spotlight will automatically and instantly search Evernote, so that's my interface (Cmd+Space).
