I agree with “files over apps.” I used google docs for my personal notes until one day I had shoddy internet and realized how awful it is to lose access to something important that you wrote down. I now use iA Writer which allows you to save your notes in markdown from iPhone, syncs via iCloud, and then I can continue from my laptop. Admittedly the native Notes app has some better functionality around sharing and searching. However, Notes saves into a SQLite db, which would be fine, but it’s not trivial to view the tables/schema in there.
