Even better, see all the alternatives:

http://alternativeto.net/software/evernote/?license=opensour...

To be fair though, TagSpaces isn't listed, and I think it's really interesting. Another one not listed is http://elephant.mine.nu/

Personally, I favor emacs org files with version control, but I admit sync across devices might be an issue for many on that front. I also live in the terminal more than most.

Nah, people don't like too much choice. That's why articles like 5 this, 7 that are popular, but if you do something like "247 alternatives", or "All the things that are like...", nobody will read it. Also, to go to that site and do an actual search requires doing something for it, rather than having results delivered without having to search for it. Or even think about searching for it.

Emacs, oh gawd. I don1t see many people using it in place of something with fancy flat design and a bloated UI (aka Evernote) ;)

(I'm the author btw.)

It's interesting though that Alternative.to does not list TagSpaces. (Is it submission based? maybe nobody cared to submit it yet?)

The Elephant one looks interesting (wonder how long before Evernote complains about the name, see the Nevernote story for example)
