Glad I switched to OneNote over a year ago. No desire to go back to Evernote at all.

I’ve checked the alternatives to Evernote (Windows):

Alfons Schmid’s Notebooks (https://www.notebooksapp.com/) - crashes after trying to add a pdf file
Sorting Thoughts (http://www.sortingthoughts.de/blog/) - doesn’t open at all

The only contenders left are Onenote and Nimbus Notes (https://nimbus.everhelper.me/note.php) . There were some doubts expressed here about the security and transparency of the latter. Does anybody have thoughts to share?

As you may be aware, DevonThink Pro Office will import EN notes which can then be exported (although I haven’t tried using it for this purpose and I don’t know about the other flavours of DT). I’m currently testing out cloudHQ (https://www.cloudhq.net/google_apps) to get my EN material into OneNote. It’s very early days, but so far only my Penultimate scratchings seem to be failing to come across (which may be a OneNote for Mac issue, rather than a failing of cloudHQ). Does Notebooks have a web presence? I don’t think it does, unlike OneNote, and that would be an issue with using cloudHQ.

Yes, I know. What keeps me from using DT is that there is no Windows version. I actually have licenses for the Mac and iPad version but have used them only for one project.
I experimented with RightNote but and managed to import EN notebooks. But the layout of web clippings was lost in most cases. And there is no iPad app.

Alfons’ Notebooks does have no web interface, which is no dealbreaker for me, as Notebooks does sync via Dropbox.

I probably ought to add that my experience only applies to the Mac.

I believe that Microsoft have released an Evernote importer for OneNote for Windows, but none yet for OneNote for macOS (although one has been promised).
