Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives

  I use OneNote a lot with hand-written notes (on a Surface Pro). And I think it is an excellent piece of software… but I’m highly uncomfortable about vendor lock-in, and about over-sharing data with Microsoft (or any mega-corp).

  Over recent years, Microsoft have been pushing harder and harder into their data sharing stuff to the point where some features that have nothing whatsoever to do with online data are still disabled unless you enable ‘online connected experiences’. So it’s probably a good time to get out of that ecosystem rather than into it.

  I like Joplin; but the main reason I use OneNote is to write and draw on it with a stylus. So until Joplin has full stylus support, it’s hard for me to completely switch over to it without completely changing how I make notes.

    I also take a lot of handwritten notes but disliked the hand writing UI on Onenote, I’m using Goodnotes for this.

    It would be great to have all my notes in one system but I don’t mind that much. Goodnotes has good OCR so I can search my notes.
