OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10
I received an email this morning reminding me of the impending end of support for the OneNote for Windows 10 app. As I do periodically when I am reminded about this, I launched the OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) app and lamented how much less user friendly it is than its doomed cousin.
The lack of a "Recent Notes" view is my biggest gripe, but the awkward "pop-over" search comes a close second. The tabs and search result are on an ugly grey background and everything is just slightly too small to read comfortably.
Am I the only one?

Still trying to get used to OneNote M365. I've been using the "History > Recent Edits > All pages sorted by date" option (three clicks! ugh!) in place of the missing Recent Notes view. Today, however, it's completely blank. On a hunch, I went in and had a look at the Application log in Event Viewer and sure enough, the Windows Search index got corrupted and is being rebuilt.
Recent Notes and Search in OneNote for Windows 10 is still working just fine, of course.
Microsoft, if you're listening: please reconsider retiring OneNote for Windows 10. 😥
