Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

One other important thought to add to my own comment.

If I'm moving to a web based service, longevity is important. Nothing lasts forever, but if I move to another solution and migrate everything and they go out of business in 6 mths, that would suck. So it matters that where I move to is fairly solid and sustainable.

That's why I hoped that Evernote would keep going, they charged a reasonable amount for the service.

But I guess in the commercial world it's all about constant growth rather than sustainability...
