      What does Evernote do better than OneNote? OneNote is now free.

        I was already using Evernote and have just stuck with it.

        Same reason I don't look at new TVs, I don't want to buy one.

          Though there are a ton of articles comparing the two. In fact, one just showed up in my Facebook feed (from LifeHacker) today.

            I looked through the rest of the Outlook add-ins, and they are PALTRY to put it nicely.

              LOL not sure I see the parallel, but I do understand the stick-ition most of us get to a tool once we start using it. Don't want to be changing tools every few months, or even years.

                Though I did read the article today, and it seemed to hint they thought Evernote was in trouble.

                  Somebody tell me how I can A) Set a custom Due Date on my Tasks, and I could ditch OWA... as a Bonus... Somebody show me how I can B) Show Tasks on the same page as my email, and I will drop Outbreak like a hot potato.

                    I found out today that you can have multiple things (e-mail, people, tasks) open on multiple tabs. So you could maybe space the windows in a way to replicate that.

                            I could do that... but that doesn't replicate Outlook (having all my info in one window. 🙂

                              But what if you could get a new one for free? 😛

                                What happened to NOTES? I see them, but they are an un-editable mail folder now?

                                  I ended up moving back to Outlook.

                                  My experiment with LibreOffice came to an end, so i decided to give Office365 a try.

                                  One thing I like is how Outlook 2016 does look very similar to OWA, and how changes you make in either places (such as favorite folders) carry over.

                                    Again I find Outlook so much easier to use than OWA or anything else. Does it have it's issues, well yeah, but so does everything else.

                                      You use add-ons.. that's a major killer of web apps.

                                        OWA has a few of them but they just don't work as well or as easily as they do in outlook.

                                          First of all, Outlook is so much faster than OWA. People tried to convince my OWA was just as fast. No way. I can blow through stuff so much faster in Outlook.

                                          This is especially evident in folders such as Clutter and Junk.

                                          I also like how Outlook LOOKS. You can display the e-mail in a way you just can't replicate in OWA.

                                          Now, I did gain a respect for OWA. And people are right, it does look VERY similar to Outlook 2016. I actually used it for a few weeks and didn't ever tear my hair out. But, it felt goooood to get Outlook back on my local machine. 🙂

                                            Opposite experience here. What browser are you testing on?
