> Why keep using Notes if if it hurts you so much that they're not markdown-exportable?

Among other reasons, because the sync experience is second to none.

Some of the other reasons:

- Apple Pencil

- Shared notes with friends and family (vacation planning, lists, etc)

So first of all, I like Apple notes for its simplicity and ability to sync with iCloud. I don't really care if it's exportable using markdown, I only really care that it is exportable. Because I'd like to migrate to the notes app I am working on.
