I've been using Evernote since October, primarily for straight note-taking (logs of things done during coding, draft emails, records of meetings, etc). I used to use vim + dropbox + grep, but a) I finally got a decent phone and wanted to get it involved, and b) I was having trouble getting a metadata system that was easy and worked.

Evernote is not perfect -- I rely heavily on bulleted lists, and their (Windows) editor has some weird bugs that I run into with some regularity. But it's definitely made it easier for me to manage and retrieve my own information, which is what I wanted.
