I practically live inside emacs and pressing one key to capture stuff is about 5 times faster than doing it by dragging, that is, if the app I want to capture from happens to be on the same desktop. I have grown a habit of capturing absolutely everything, which is eased by the fact that I redirect everything I can to IRC or my mailbox, which gives me a very efficient note-taking and communication system. I also have the capability of capturing links to stuff on a remote system (which Evernote can't do). Also, Evernote has no integrated calendar, which really hurts, in org I can capture and add a scheduled/deadline timestamp to the item which effectively implements GTD's recommendation of "using the item itself as a reminder". The only useful thing I've ever done with Evernote is take advantage of the OCR search, which means I can capture physical things fast with the smartphone and find them later via search, like bookmarking a page from a physical book or capturing a business card. =2D-=20 tetris is so unrealistic
