A little surprised that after 64 comments I've only seen 2 instances of Evernote mentioned. I recently went back to using it and have been making use of the clipper fairly often. https://twitter.com/dalevross/status/1214257684863692806 https://www.evernote.com/l/AVVHBrGz_9BPMbh_Oxgp8qpibzVtX0tRn...

I also found https://dabble.me/ the other day which seemed like a nice slot in for quick thoughts with the ability to email to your journal. I've heard that journaling manually works better but I really dislike writing unless necessary.

One of my biggest gripes is with how many places I have my data in currently, and as a dev, I should have done something already but that's another story.

I'll definitely have a look at Notion and org-mode having read the feedback here along with a few other mentions elsewhere.

I was a paying EverNote user for years, but they stopped evolving while other NoteTaking apps didn't. I forget which feature they removed that was the last straw, but the recipe front-end was hugely important to me.
I've worked with Evernote a lot, but handling source code snippets is really painful. Got me switching to Notion too.
Evernote was useful 10 years ago.
Would you like to elaborate on what changed over the last 10 years to make it no longer useful?
