I haven’t used Evernote in years, and granted I was pretty fed up with it when I left. Maybe Evernote has changed since then?

But, compared to the Evernote I remember...

- Block level editing

- Backlinks

- Publish to web

- Better support for embedding different types of content

Notion/Craft are really in a whole different league compared to Evernote.

I've been trying to switch to Notion from Evernote, and I'm having a hard time. I really liked that Evernote could be a shoebox where I put all my random PDFs, receipts, user manuals, etc, alongside a smaller number of evergreen notes.

I haven't found that same shoebox aspect to Notion, which I think is by design, because people believe it to be an antipattern. But every time I want to save something, it needs to be need in some kind of database or as a subdocument to another document, and that's just not how I think of those things.

Agreed. That’s something I struggle with with Notion as well. I use Bear for that currently (Apple-only though).

Edit: although I guess one solution would be to create a “Shoebox” page in Notion of the “List” type.
