I am using OneNote since 2005, when I bought my first Tablet-PC. Traveling a lot around the world, not only the features of OneNote 2016, are very important to me, but the possibility to have different local notebooks along with one cloud/OneDrive based notebook for documents I need on my different devices, is crucial for me.
I don't understand the move of Microsoft, to implement features of a good tool in an inferior "cheep" copy of the same app
and then fading-out the professional version. Logical would be to implement innovation to OneNote 2016 and open it (if you want with restrictions) for Windows 10!
Please do everything to make your top-management change this decision. perhaps one or the other of them do also use OneNote 2016 and can understand our concerns.
