Charles, thanks for the heads up in B-folders.

I see three important advantages and one major disadvantage for me with the program over Evernote. The advantages:
- Linux version; I have personally lost hope that EN will ever support this
- Encryption; this is a feature that EN users have been asking for ages
- Nothing stored in the cloud

The disadvantage is that the developer seems to be a one-man show; in this day and age, I am becoming very cautious about trusting software houses that have little background to show in terms of funding and human resources—in 2003 I opted for Hyperclip instead of UltraRecall and one day the developers simply vanished. That said, it is interesting to note that some of the no-longer-developed software often discussed here, like MORE and Notemap, were actually discontinued by major software houses rather than small players.

Incidentally, there’s a new version of Evernote for the Android, and offline note access has been announced for the near future: http://blog.evernote.com/2010/08/11/evernote-for-android-update/
