I don't use files, I use tags. I have 2 notebooks to differentiate notes that I want synced to my mobile devices, but really that's not needed.

You can tag any note with multiple tags and then use saved filters to always find notes which are in a given tag. All of this used to work a lot better (evernote search has been getting consistently worse) but it still works fine.

You can use multiple tags, but the granularity is still page level. To continue on Conor's example, you'd have, say, a note for your whole meeting, with 3 sections for each agenda point. And you'd have 3 tags.

But then when you want to see information pertaining to a given tag, it means that the content on that meeting note is 66% irrelevant. That doesn't happen in Roam.
