Evernote raised it's prices and limited it's free tier to two devices. - Looks like classic mob strategy. Not a nice feeling when your personal notes are kept hostage by en enforcer. Put them in and then pay a ransom forever.
Evernote migrated to Google Cloud Platform - so you may have reservations about privacy of your notes.
Ain't Google scanning your notes right now and connecting with other metadata information they have about you? They say they don't. But hey, it's Google right?
