This is why I cannot use things like Evernote, OneNote, or the MacOS Notes app. I have first-hand experience of the latter two encountering corruption which was unrecoverable due to their proprietary data format. All three have pretty poor export choices (PDF? Really? What am I supposed to do with that?). I am at the point where I will never again use something that is not plain text files as they are and will likely remain the most portable format. This is how I ended up discovering Obsidian and I have not looked back since.
