That would increase my comfort level considerably :-)
And even if I do not want to import all the stuff from EN to IQ: Could I import only particular notes from EN into IQ and process them there (e.g. using IQ’s outlining features?

Of course ! Initially, sync will probably be based on notebooks (you select which ones to sync). Eventually, one could individually select which ones to sync.

I am not sure that I would always equate growth and being well-funded with stability. I have seen as many, if not more, well-funded and growing companies get bought up and dismantled than I have software from individual developers that I have supported in the past. Google alone has bought and killed more growing, well-funded useful software/services than I care to recount, with Postini and Picnik being two that immediately come to mind. Microsoft bought and totally destroyed iView Media Pro, a very popular DAM program used by many photographers. On the other hand, there are software programs that I purchased over 10 years ago that were written by individuals that are still being supported.
These are only individual examples based on my personal experiences, and should not be taken as absolute evidence to the contrary, but rather as a caution against any false sense of security that growth and funding often seem to imply. And, IIRC, getting data out of Evernote used to be a somewhat difficult task, but I could be mistaken, and that could have changed as the program has evolved over time.
In short, it’s always best to have a reasonable Plan B in case the unexpected happens.

Definitely; here’s an indicative list of good software lost for anything but lack of funding: http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/7846

This is even better news! That said, I can’t say that Evernote’s terms of using the API are clear to me. I was really wondering whether we would be able to see the actual text and use it further, e.g. copy/paste it.
