I used Evernote for a bit years ago, but only for scratch notes I didn't care to lose. Mainly because I saw there didn't appear to be any way to export/backup my data from Evernote in a format that was not some proprietary storage mechanism that only works in Evernote. I figured the end-game was always to lure people with freemium and then dramatically increase the prices later, holding your data hostage. And it appears that is exactly what happened.
It looks like you still cannot backup to an open format:

"The Evernote XML (.enex) file generated by the above process can be used to import notes or notebooks back into Evernote. This process can help you move notes between Evernote accounts or restore lost notes from a backup."
- bsamuels 8y agohow would you prefer to export your data if not in a plaintext xml file? would you prefer it export to markdown and lose information? (evernote's markup doesn't cleanly convert into markdown)
