Well, after 2 days of discovering the app… And I can tell you that I WANT TO USE ANYTYPE for so many reasons (mainly its philosophy) !!!
If they were to have 2 Deal Breaker for me, there are actually 3 :
1. Tags Management like in Evernote / Bear
I don’t need to see connections everywhere… I need to be able to find easily all elements relative to a thematic of my choice.
Plenty enough has been said about Evernote. It’s just well done. No need to go innovative about it. > Copy is great enough ! => I find Bear’s tag customisation better than Evernote although I am not fan of their choice of adding tags inside a note’s text rather than to the object itself (the note metadata).
EDIT : THIS IS NOT A DEAL BREAKER ANYMORE !
It is yet not as polished as other apps but the need is met with a Set on relationships.

2. Not being able to sync on my Google Drive or iCloud
I don’t want to invest lots of time on it only to have a bad surprise afterwards… been there, never again !
The lack of visibility on future price of sync makes me hold my horses…
3. Text with Markdown…
EDIT > I discovered that you could actually set text & highlight colours… it’s not perfect but it makes it a bit less of a deal breaker
The all point of notes is to enjoy reading them, or finding the info quickly in a long text.
It’s a bit similar to my lack of desire to see connections everywhere… I foresee loads of time polishing the connections… for notes that look meh to me.
It may look kinda futile for some but I like having notes with different fonts, coloured text, different colour of titles depending on the notes, better table management… (maybe at least be able to set the look & feel of markdown in a template)
EDIT : JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT PATIENCE, THAT WILL COME
With Themes !!!
