I’d be surprised if more tag-based PIMs don’t appear soon; tags have become the modern way to organise stuff, to the extent that their “superiority” over hierarchical systems has been highlighted by works such as D.Weinberger’s “Everything is miscellaneous”. (There is of course also the best of both worlds—hierarchical tags)

Re exporting from Evernote 2:
- I understand that the note export feature creates an XML file which should be readable by software such as Treeline among others (though I haven’t tried it myself)
- One can use Evernote 3 as an intermediate stage; v.3 uses SQLite as infrastructure, so its files should be readable by the program (again, I haven’t tried it myself)

In both cases some programming knowledge may be rquired, but I think that the data is much safer than in other proprietary formats that I can think of.
