I've found need for a note taking mobile app recently, but after trying to use Keep and seeing that it has zero organizational tools such as tags or folders, I just started to use Evernote instead.

Frankly, it is nearly impossible to recommend Keep when Evernote exists. Until they have, at minimum, some way to organize notes, it's just a pile of notes sitting in one window. But it would still be a hard sell when compared to all the Evernote features, such as the desktop clients that allow you to take screenshots and annotate them.

Edit: Oh, and there's also Geeknote¹ for CLI usage, as well as Vim plugins².

I've been using OneNote, solely because I can use a keyboard shortcuts to click+drag screenshots or pop up a new ad-hoc, unfiled note immediately. Does evernote do this?
If you disable the annotation tool popup after taking a screenshot in the settings, then yea, it creates a "Screen clip" note with the image immediately after you finish dragging the screenshot range. (Of course, you can annotate later.)
