Whoa whoa whoa, you can't just drop that and walk away.
What do you recommend then, that offers everything Evernote has?
It's just that: Evernote does a whole lot of everything just OK and not a single thing well. The desktop software continues to feel bloated and sync is slow. I decided to focus on using services that do a single focus really well over a bloated suite. It still doesn't support plain notes either which is just aggravating. It's handling of tasks is mediocre at best.
Notes: good ole plain text files synced via dropbox. Access either through Write or Sublime Text
Bookmarking: Pinboard
Writing: Write or Sublime Text with Markdown
Task lists: Wunderlist or Things, I'm still going between the two though Todoist is looking more refined
File sharing: Droplr
Recipes: Paprika

Honest question: how can you decide what best suits your needs if you don't give a damn about specs? If you're not basing your decisions on actual data, then all that's left is marketing hype and hear-say.
The hardware is only part of the equation so the OS and software available are what I look for. Megapixel wars have proven to be pointless, cell phone displays are more dense than they've ever been, CPU's are incredibly power, etc. Getting caught up in the minutia of a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 800 vs a Snapdragon 801 just does nothing for me anymore. It did 3 years ago when Android phones were really struggling and advancing rapidly, but now? Nah, there isn't much to stress out over. Any phone you buy now should last you 2 years easily without much worry. They're all just incredibly powerful.
This isn't exclusive to cellphones, but most consumer hardware: cameras, laptops, desktops, HDTV, tablets, etc, etc. Yes there are some aspects of them that will cause the die hards to debate and look for a better solution. However, from the view point of a consumer who is not looking to tweak their phone or run Far Cray 4 at 60fps it just doesn't pay to stress over all of it.
