For the shortcut you can use the pin, although access to it is less convenient than Evernote.
Yes, the message from Evernote was confusing to you probably because it said
and that of course encouraged you to think, “My Sonoma must be 10.14.” Instead, their message indicates that you must have another computer still on your Evernote account which is running something before 10.15 (Catalina). You can remove that device from your Evernote account, and that will stop the messages, especially if you no longer even use that computer. If you do still use it and you can’t upgrade past Mojave, you won’t be able to run Evernote on it anymore.

I left Evernote some years back, and jumped to DEVONthink which I adore. DEVONthink imported all my Evernote notebooks, and I’m able to pay for the software as purchase and upgrade, rather than subscription. Yes, Evernote has the cloud element, but DEVONthink will keep all my files in iCloud and sync them to my iPad running DEVONthink To Go. Its features are so extensive I won’t bore you with the list, but it’s far beyond what Evernote did for me.
And as for OneNote, that’s a non-starter. It’s abandonware. While it’s included in my Office license and I’ve evaluated it a couple of times over the past 4 years (and decided each time that it’s almost non-functional), I’d be surprised if there are more than 2 programmers at Microsoft working on it.

I used Evernote waaay back when it came out, for about a year. Back then syncing and Cloud storage were new and fun and I was working and had multiple devices and syncing via Cloud made sense.
Now I am mostly retired and have been irritated over the years by software changes that lose my data or disrupt my workflow.
I went back to basic .txt documents for note taking, storing them wherever they make sense on my Mac, and keeping ongoing notes in one window with several tabs. I wish there was a TextEdit for iOS/iPad!
At some point I came across iA Writer, which even when it came out had more features than I wanted, but I liked its simplicity, ability to make .txt documents, and built-in note organizing features.
iA has added a lot more features and other apps and stuff for which I have no interest. It can sync in a variety of ways but I don’t use that. Notes stay on the device where they were created and I back up locally only.
I’m not sure if the app handles images and other things, or if that’s what Jane is looking for. For just text notes, TextEdit and iA Writer are my go-to apps. Hope that helps.
Yes, for plain text or Markdown, iA Writer is hard to beat.
I switched to goog docs as it is cross platform and I have a Pixel 5.
I can share individual notes.
Been on it for about a year I’d guess.
Sync is excellent. Does pretty much everything that EN does … except crash when updating.
It is strictly a notebook for me. Lists, notes to self, to dos, blah, blah, blah.
No research papers or symphonic equations.
Does goog own even more of me? Yes. As does every little thing on the interwebs.
A discussion not worth having. Like trying to convince my bro to upgrade from a '09 iMac.
But at least the washer dryer aren’t wifi.
