Why Evernote chose not to include templates anymore is way beyond me. It made it so very useful and a rival to OneNote. I keep waiting for them to include them, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. That is just plain stupid, in my humble opinion. Because of that one thing, V.2.2 was so much better than V.3. You really blew it!
My feelings on this aren't quite as polarized as yours, but I do have to admit that being able to create templates would be very very useful.

The more i use(d) Evernote the more i found out how much it sucks: crappy desktop client that forces you to use/install a mail client and doesn't use the OS's search engine, shortcut keys that don't work, etc. If Evernote wasn't without any real competitor right now, i'd ditch it in a second...
- Ralph
Not sure what Ralph means by "doesn't use the OS's search engine" That has not been a problem for me. Spotlight on the Mac easily finds the files I'm looking for. I know that search on Windows XP (have not used vista yet so I am not sure there) and earlier sucks, so I would recommend you try Google Desktop. I have not found a need for Templates yet.
- Steve Sill
Steve, i can only say, that Windows Desktop Search doesn't seem to be supported. If Spotlight on Mac is supported, then by all means they should supoort search on Windows too.
- Ralph
Wow, for once someone supports something in Mac and not PC and Steve gets in a tissy. Welcome to my world.

evernote has never forced me to install a mail client...not sure what that's about
- Trent Olson
From what I've heard from the company, they know the PC client ain't great & they're in the middle of re-writing the whole thing from scratch

I'm a longtime EN user since seeing them at Digital Life show in 2004! A big fan of templates as well but I enjoy the multiple clients and synching and for now can still get by w/o them but have plans for them if they do come in a future update.

@Ralph, I am not quite sure what you mean by "not supported". Are you saying that Mac users can use spotlight and search for content within Evernote using the evernote search syntax? Now that Evernote has opened its api's I don't see why Windows Desktop can't be made to do the same thing in the future.

Glad to hear they might be rewriting the desktop version. I stopped using it altogether and will probably uninstall it. When I need to, I save to the Web site, but mostly I use OneNote. For me, it is the best. But look forward to seeing a new Evernote Desktop.
- Jim Corkrum
According to the latest podcast, the CEO of Evernote is getting himself a new pc purely so that he can "road test" the new Windows desktop client personally. I presume it must, therefore, be fairly close to being launched. I've never used Evernote with templates. What did they look like?
- Gordon Herd
Incidentally, podcast also states that they are up to 1.4 million users!

You mean he rebooted the webserver without submitting a Change Request Application with work procedure and rollback steps to the Change Advisory Board for review at their next weekly meeting? ;-)

:)) I was getting very frustrated with FF's best of the day page, showing mostly meta-links about FF itself all the time. And then this. Once in a while, there is one single link that makes all these page loads worth it :)

LMAO for most of the 10 min. Will fwd to several IT peeps I know...and maybe a few peeps at Twitter. Wonder if they'll think it's funny.

The realism of this thing is just awe-inspiring. That techie behave pretty much like any techie I've ever encountered who's been asked to do a stupid task. And the sales dude is lethally real too. This is Dilbert meets The Office on steroids. Thanks for the link.
