Does anyone use either Evernote, or Micro$oft's OneNote for their note taking and note keeping? And if so, what's your preference, and why?

Thanks in advance!

I use the heck out of Evernote.  Far better interface and available on any platform.

I have Evernote and have used it extensively in the past.  I have a Nexus tablet (Android) and lately have been using Google Keep.  I like it's simplicity, and using Android, I like it's integration with Google.  I still use Evernote, but have slowly been transitioning to Keep in the last month or so.

May be available on IDevices, but haven't looked, since I rarely use one.

Evernote is the winner by far. There are standalone apps for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. Keep has apps for Android only. Evernote does full-text searching of not only text you enter, but also text inside of images and handwriting. (So if you take a picture of a package of oreos, you can alter search "oreos" and it will find it) It also indexes text inside of non-editable PDF's.

Also if you load in a bunch of recipes in Evernote, you're not going to get a bunch of google ads for recipe sites.

I don't get ads in Keep on my Android.  And for the desktop version?  Three words.

Ad Block Plus.

Plus, Evernote kinda pissed me off when I had to redo my password last month.

I've used Notepad++ for years due to its simplicity, but I may have to try Evernote. I like a simple text editor that doesn't get in the way when I'm writing, one that doesn't offer to correct anything and does only what I tell it to do.  Later, I'll 'clean up' the copy in Open Office Writer.

May you live in interesting times.

They pissed you off by making you change your password once?

The one time password change took me 2 weeks to resolve..back and forth with their 'tech support'.  Ask the question again now.

Notepad++ is also a great HTML editor.

Or PHP editor.  Java editor.  CSS editor....

You get the picture.  It's the only text editor I use and have used for about four years now.

I use it if I happen to be doing something complex from a windows machine, which isn't often. Mainly been using it on Visual Basic stuff.
