Two days with Evernote, so how is it going?

• Well I am taking notes.
• It is very nice for jotting things down. Stuff is saved automatically so there is no need to worry about pressing edit or save buttons, just point and type.
• If I select a file full of code from Netbeans and try to paste it into Evernote, Evernote crashes. I can paste it into notepad, copy it again and then paste it. Evernote didn't lose any data when it crashed.
• A big bugbear for me is that if have some code that has been converted to html and syntax highlighted open in a browser, if I copy it to Evernote the colouring disappears. Then only way I have found to keep the colouring intact is to email the highlighted code to the evernote website from outlook.
• It has those problems that many wysiwyg editors have (e.g. outlook) whereby you try to add some text and it picks up some existing weird font style/size from adjascent text and you have to fiddle around adding spaces and carriage returns and deleting them again to try to get it back to the default style.
• appears to be broken under wine/linux

Apart from the syntax highlighting thing I am still liking evernote.
