It seems people are always bragging about how it could partially do the job of more capable programs like a task manager or word processor. Wake up people, your grasping at straws. You know it sucks and are trying to justify it in your own heads. Give it up and use a real task manager or word processor and become productive again. Evernote sucks.

Thanks for this tidy list. I had googled "Evernote for novelists" to see any cool ways writers are using it, but I found this list and glad I did. My Evernote interface is so much cleaner now with sub-tags! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Chase.

I'm not so keen on emailing photos to Evernote, but I would like a simple think like tabbed columns. Otherwise, a fine program and great concept.

I have to remember a piece of text from a page to search for, instead of just searching for the domain name. That's ok for now, since everything is pretty current, but later on, I might just remember oh yeah I wanted something from vendor.com, what was it? And I can't just search for "vendor.com" even though "vendor.com" is in that note's URL. It won't be found. I have to remember the name of the widget I wanted to order, or I'm out of luck. This is such a huge flaw that I must be mistaken - I sure hope I'm wrong! :} Lydia It seems Evernote does not include notes’ URLs when it searches?

How? I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to say "tag 1, tag 2, not tag 3". I know I can put the tags in the search field but that also searches the text of the notes. I want tag-specific negation. E.g. I have a tag "Email". The chances of that appearing in the body of a note is pretty high!

For example I had the idea to migrate my bookmarks from delicious and read later-articels from Instapaper, because there are only URLs with tags and this could be done via Evernote. No seaparate tag architectures, only one app... beautiful, right? But no, everytime I search a bookmark I have to click on the actual item to access the link....it's not comfortable. Another thing with Dropbox. Files could be synced, but for me the best premium amount (500 mb a month) is simply not enough. It would take 5 months to get all my stuff from Dropbbox (free 2GB) up to Evernote. I think the Evernote team itself hasn't realised that their app could be a game changer.
