Zotero instead of Evernote (geek)

Circa 2014 i started using Zotero for bookmarking, more or less, appreciating the formal citation capabilities, note-taking capabilities, and cross-machine synchronization. I'm realizing it's a fine place to keep recipes, too, especially as i pull so many off the web. And with that realization, why not more of replacing Evernote.

There are two native objects: notes and citations. Notes are rich text and so allow web links. There are not note to note or note to citation links, but there is a "Related" attribute, so that one can link within the system. For example, i link citations for standards to main notes about a general standards process or link from the citation for one book in a series to the citations for the book preceding and following.

Within the citation are fields for last accessed time, archive, and rights details -- which has been useful for reminding myself where ebooks are located.

Citations can have child objects: notes, links to URIs (which may themselves have notes), link to files on your machine, and files. I've not used the file and PDF links, and linked to evernote when i wanted more extensive details. I suppose i could explore attaching files when the richtext notes is insufficient.
