I use Evernote to store mostly bookmarks, tag them, sometimes I take a note with it. I'm mostly reliant on the search by tag feature. I use Evernote on multiple devices that sync.
What would HN crowd recommend as an Evernote replacement?

Nothing beats emacs/org-mode + beorg on iOS for me though. beorg even has scheme-based scripting, although I haven't tried it out yet.
I can't even tell whether I should have more than one .org file.
My personal wiki includes several thousand .org files that are interlinked using hierarchical tagging. No other note-taking tool I've evaluated has all of the features and efficiency of Emacs and Org mode.
For example, Evernote doesn't allow users to enter tabular data and make calculations on that data, which Org mode supports. The suggested solution for Evernote is to attach a spreadsheet file. That's what I did with the various note-taking solutions I used back in the 90s. Now all of my small sets of tabular data are included in the same files as my notes.
How you use it is largely up to you. I usually break things into files when I feel like it's its own high level "thing".
Evernote users are accustomed to more than text files.
