Skitch And Evernote: A Letter From Keith Lang addresses some of the concerns, and upcoming fixes, for some of the negative reactions that have appeared since Skitch was merged with Evernote.
I’ve come to the realization that we’ve underestimated how deeply ingrained Skitch had become in many people’s daily workflows and how disruptive changes to the product could be. I’d like you to know that we’re going to fix it.
Personally I’m not an “old-school” skitch user, but only a more recent user since it was merged with Evernote, and personally love the integration, but do understand some of the new UI changes being a step backwards compared to the previous versions.
