@ronald, what is the source of your statement? I believe it is very out-of-date, and I have not seen that assessment published by any credible sources.
There is no question that over a year ago, Evernote had begun straying from their core mission, core product. The founder, and first CEO, Phil Libin really led the company astray.
But that is all very much in the past now. Almost a year ago, Evernote brought in a new CEO, Chris, O'Neill, from Google to turnaround Evernote and get them back on track, both from a product perspective, and a financial perspective.
According to CEO O'Neill, Evernote is financially healthy today.

Chris O'Neill: I announced early on I was going to focus on three things: building a great team — building on a great team — getting us on a path to sustainability. And the last is getting back to the core, the essence, of the product.
What people don’t understand about the company is that we’re in a very solid financial position. We’re on the path to sustainability. We don’t have to raise more money. We had a cash-flow positive month in March. These are really important things at a time when the funding environment is so volatile. So I think that’s important for people to understand.
I, and others, have many KM macros that work very well with Evernote. If there is something you don't like about Evernote, chances are you can fix it with a combination of Keyboard Maestro and AppleScript.
For example, I did NOT like the way the Evernote Search worked. So, I wrote this KM macro to provide a much better, easier way to do an Evernote Search:
If you have any specific issues with Evernote that could possibly be resolved by KM, please start a new topic with your issue and provide as much detail as you can. I would be glad to take a look at it.
