Has Notes just killed Evernote and OneNote?

At least in the OS Notes version it looks like you can have nested folders:

I never had problems with syncing. I mean, yes... I may have to wait 5-10 seconds sometimes for my notes to sync after I open the app but I don't find that to be a big deal.
I've had sync problems where I start editing a note before the 5-10 secs. Problem is, there is no real indicator whether it's syncing or not. So sometimes I just start editing hoping that it had already synced in the background.
OS X iTunes can create playlist folder, but not on iOS.Brilliant! Thank you for the reply
That could just be the single feature that moves me from Evernote... The last piece of the puzzle are the data limits that may be imposed, as discussed earlier. Hope this can be resolved.
So I suspect if apple will add this function. On iOS, of course.
Notes is Evernote done right to me. Evernote gets in the way more then it helps.
So far during testing I've really liked the way that Notes is able to do more complex notes, while still being speedy. The attachment view is far more useful then you'd expect too.
Only hope is to be able to link Notes checklists to reminders.

What a pity you don't explain why...
I can imagine OneNote being the better choice due to being able to use OneDrive for businesses. The OneNote version that is able to open OneNote notebooks locally is the full desktop client that is Windows-only. The Modern client and all the other non-Windows versions can only open notebooks from OneDrive or OneDrive for businesses. When it comes to business use within OneNote then there is little that Notes on OS X/iOS can't do. OneNote for Windows desktop however is much more suited due to having template support and things like OneTastic. Too bad the OS X and iOS version do not support these two things. It makes it rather easy to create project documentation, meeting ageda/minutes and so on. Now you have to do these things manually just as in Apple Notes.
Not any more? My notes on other platforms are still such form. No change.
This only affect icloud notes.
Using the Notes app with iCloud means your notes will no longer be an email-like IMAP, but an iCloud drive sync system. It should be more reliable, but I'm puzzled at that size limitation.
But what I say is other accounts supporting notes, such as Exchange, and Outlook. Their notes still uses traditional IMAP method to create and maintain. They cannot use all advanced features introduced in iOS 9 new Notes app.
And, no one even try to write notes outside iCloud account?
I'm not following you. If you use the notes app with iCloud, you get all the new features and non-IMAP syncing. If you use the Notes app with another service like Exchange I assume you may not get all the new features and will have iMAP syncing.
So this is what I originally want to say.
All new features only support icloud service.
Fin.
I would assume so. Using an app by one developer and a service by another usually doesn't lead to flawless results. Now perhaps if you were using Notes on two Macs and syncing via Google or something you'd still get all the features, but I doubt it. It's most likely iCloud only.
It wouldn't surprise me if they've merged notes from other services back into the Mail app like it was in OS X Lion.
Just tested on my iPad mini with beta 2 and it definitely zooms. I agree, that's an annoying aspect to the old notes.
