I was using Evernote (and resenting it) until they gave me a reason to switch... so far, still haven't found the perfect solution. I've tried Quiver for Mac (http://happenapps.com/#quiver) and MS OneNote for Mac and iOS (though obviously more platforms are supported) (http://www.onenote.com).
Quiver is pretty good, but the 'cells' metaphor ended up being less useful than I thought it would be. Didn't really impede me at all compared to Evernote, though, since it's not something Evernote had. Quiver also lacks an iOS app that can author/edit notes. The beta version can read notes.
OneNote has the disadvantage of being an MS product... I was able to import my Evernote notes, but the importer is Windows-only so I had to borrow a Windows PC. Once the notes were in, I looked for a way to export them, and it appears that that was a one-way trip. Yikes.
The iOS app for OneNote is pretty good, though. All the major features are there.
I'm using OneNote for now, but still looking (and working on my own replacement app in my copious free time).
I have so much in Evernote and depend on it for work and personal stuff, so the price is very reasonable for me. It is great software.
I wish the Work Chat feature was actually good. it only syncs chats when the app syncs every 5 minutes or whatever you have it set to... Instant sync for Work Chat is needed.
Right now I'm tracking LightPaper[0] and Typora[1]. Both support Markdown and saving as text, i.e. normal .md files. Quiver, which I'm using daily, stores files with a custom format.
I'm very excited about Typora, but for me to use regularly it needs a file navigator similar to LightPaper's.
I never used Evernote, but I read people talking about the changes and I started using Turtl - https://turtl.it/. GPL3 and you can run your own server it seems.

Missing features: - Mobile support (android coming, iOS client missing?) - Better searching - Importing Evernote notes - OCR?
Would be interested in what's coming up. What replacements have you been using?
