Ian Dick writes about his farewell to Evernote.

This year though a couple of things changed. Firstly Evernote tweaked there prices so I’d be paying more going forward. Secondly, Apple Notes improved and also offered a way to import Evernote content as did Microsofts Onenote. There also seemed to be a lot of grumbles in the many podcasts I listen to about what Evernote had become and how viable was it’s future.

— So Long Evernote

Evernote's proprietary format has been a reason why I don't Evernote. It's easy to get stuff in but hard to get it back out. I tried Apple Notes for a while but it's Simplenote that gets my award for best notes app.
