Evernote Migration Part 1: Decision to Leave Evernote

An overview of my decision to abandon Evernote after 12 years and how I evaluated my options. While I love Evernote, as I looked at the 10-15 year trajectory at the new higher price, I decided it was not the investment I would want to make. Particularly because I knew I would want to leave and keep a portion of notes even then, so I decided to do it now.
