I really liked Evernote 3 on Mac. It had a simple interface but those really powerful html/rich text pasting abilities. One of the things that sold me on it was that I could just dump anything into evernote and process it later. With the syncing features I could even do this across multiple devices and platforms. Perfect.
As evernote advanced though, it only got worse. New features and interface changes seemed to be being stuffed in without much of a strong focus on making the core useful features good and resilient. I gave up after I lost some notes for the third time during a sync.
Most of these alternate note taking solutions I find fail miserably with rich text and web content, instead preferring markdown (which I hate for notes). Either that or they are too complicated (e.g. devonthink). And to top it off, they rarely have any good implementations of syncing or cross-platform apps.
