Heavyweight does not mean much in itself. What would that mean? Evernote has a large binary? A cluttered UI?

For my use, I don't find it slow, FWIW.

>When I open my notes, I want them 5 seconds ago, looking right at the last notes I entered anywhere.

So you don't want detailed notes spanning years -- you want to jot something quickly.

In that case, it's true, that's not what Evernote's for.

It means everything that came after that statement by way of explanation, come on.

You're hearing zir as an engineer, rather than as a customer.

To zir, "heavyweight" means "slow to boot". Why is it slow to boot? "I don't know; just fix it."

... that is the worst genderless pronoun I've ever seen. Just use singular they and make the grammarians angry, nobody else minds.

i did not even read it as a pronoun. i just assumed the thread OP was called 'zir', that is until i read your post.
