After giving it a try for about a year, I’ve officially reverted from Microsoft OneNote back to Evernote. Reasons: (1) OneNote was/is painfully slow opening up notebooks, (2) it doesn’t allow any sort of subfolder organization of notebooks, and (3) the app on macOS is essentially crippleware (worse than the online version). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you owe it to yourself to give Evernote a try. It’s essentially a digital life organization tool sans pictures and video.
