Anything related to Home Improvement is in a mental folder under the main area of Home. That's just how a lot of us work. Tags are a great way of linking things across notebooks but I see a lot of people using them to simply replace sub-notebooks. I think that screams to something missing in the app. Oh well, I guess we'll just wait and see.

I never found a better alternative, so I'm hanging in there with Evernote. The addition of folders helps a lot. Evernote recently added “Stacks,” which are folder equivalents.

I see that you have more or less stopped using it. Did you find a better alternative? I did read a qucik comparative saying that springpad was more organised but need to research this more in detail.

I'm not using Evernote that much anymore, because of the lack of folders. Yeah, even Google gave us folder-equivalents in Gmail, but no folders in Evernote.

I spent the last 30 minutes trying to find out how to create folders in Evernote, even went through the all guide and finally I found the answer here: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. I Van't believe it! I'm a folders-addicted person, I need to organize in folders :-( Thank you so much!

There are a lot of people who I'm sure prefer to just dump their stuff in a place and rely on search to get back what they need. For those people, God bless you! I, on the other hand, like to categorize things. Call me old-fashioned. Call me crazy. When you're dealing with 7 gigs of email or 200,000 possible notes, I think you need a system to organize that data. With Gmail's recent addition of nested labels, I think they get it. At least give your users the option to organize.<br><br>I'm a hardcore fan of Evernote and see myself using it for years to come. It's more than just a memory dump for me though. It's becoming my virtual file cabinet and the tool that will help me the most towards having a paperless office. Eventually, a 100 notebooks just won't cut it. They will need to come up with something better before then. All of this speaks to the larger issue of filers vs. pilers.
