For sure. My personal rule is that when switching any of my main productivity apps—calendar, tasks, and notes—I have to commit to the new app for at least a year. Preferably two. Unless it is so broken that it is losing data/unusable. (Which suggests that I didn't do enough research first.)

When I see a shiny new app I ask myself: What are the features in this new app that I must have that are not in my current app? Are there ways I could adapt my current app/workflow to give me that benefit? Do I really need that feature?

Switching any of my productivity apps or writing tools is a big deal. It will cost me a lot of hours of productivity and I won't do it unless there is a big payoff. Either because of something the new app offers, or because there is something actually wrong with the one I am using.
