Used to be great, now Evernote is annoying

I use Evernote for two years and latest Mac update is a disaster for me. If only there would be an alternative applicaiton, I would get rid of Evernote. Its all about the new user interface, which is supposed to "clean", but what is actually does is that many very useful features have been removed and it taks now much more time to do same job with Evernote. Customized menu (which application doesnt have it?) is gone, now you have to use right-click (yes! this is Mac, not PC!) to access context menus and select options from there. Why Evernote removed the menu? No clue. Even moving around Notebooks is more difficult now, the "collapse" triange on the right of a Notebook is so small, and you have click on it precisely to un-collpase it and see all nested Notebboks. Why they made it sooo difficult? I understand the "Steve Jobs - minimalistic desgn" principle, I understand that too many features makes applications unusable, but what Evernote did is over-simplification at the cost of my productivity. Did they even test it with real users? If they did, Evernote doesnt seem to bother about user feedback.

June 2013 update: is this a joke? Apple Design Award 2013? If not caring for users means "design", then this is well deserved. One of the recent small updates removed horizontal view of notes list and replaced it with column view, which is AWFUL and NOT USEFUL. Evernote now has several fancy views (snipped view, expanded card view), but none of them is usefull unless you use Evernote to keep pictures, not text. Is Evernote becoming Picassa or something? I want horizontal list of notes back! I want to see my tags, and other columns of my choice!
