I’ve been using the web-based version of Evernote in earnest ever since Google announced their intention to abandon Notebook. It’s nice overall but has some quirks that I do not like. The upload quota for one. The fact that I have to login all the time. Also the pop-up upgrade ads. And I don’t like that I can’t clip images by right-clicking them; it looks like you can, but you can’t—you have to highlight them first. Clipping a page takes too long because you have to wait for it to generate a screenshot of the whole page.

Too many interruptions in flow to consider paying money for the service. Which is a bummer because I really wanted to like it. Now I have to keep looking.

If you’re as frustrated as me by online note taking apps, you might want to check out Cloud Notes, a blog whose owner is on a quest to find the perfect online note taking solution.
