Moving from Evernote to Onenote - it seems like I really need to put everything in one huge Onenote
Microsoft has just dropped the ball on this.
I am an Evernote Premium user, and was hoping that I could import all of my Evernote data into OneNote, so that I could stop paying for EN. But the OneNote Importer is so lousy, it loses all of the organization and structure when importing the EN data. That is no help whatsoever.
If you're interested in reading about my experience, good and bad, I wrote a blog post:

I was an EN premium user. I'm very happy with OneNote, but, yes, the conversion process could be much better without much effort on their part. They have MORE hierarchical capability than EN, so they should be able to easily map EN's 4 levels.
And I LOVE dark mode...
- I appreciate the feedback, thanks. I have way too many notes in EN to sort them out in OneNote.
I want to move to Onenote but I too feel that it would be a huge job with 16,000 notes. The one big attraction of Evernote is the tagging, which I can't see how I would replicate on Onenote. I've been hanging on (a very long time) with Evernote for their new version and now it has arrived I wish I hadn't waited. I lasted one day with version 10 for Windows. It mangled the note I was working on that day, and lost 33 other notes - I've no idea what has been lost, and from other posts I was lucky at only 33! The version is more like an early beta version. I've gone back to version 6.25.
If it helps, I wrote a series of blog posts about my experience making the move:

Bottom line: I'm very happy I made the switch. I find the essentially-unlimited hierarchy in Onenote to be a big advantage. The search is better as well. I never miss Evernote.
Did Evernote for Windows ever get dark mode?
