Do you ever regret that Joplin does not store notes in plain text? (meaning you couldn't edit your notes in a plain text editor if you wanted to)
Nope not a bit. But you mean through exporting stuff I assume(?).
If for any reason I need to move something to a text file (very rare) then I just cut/copy and paste without the MD.
I just meant like if Joplin ever stopped working or vanished overnight. I know it might seem like a contrived scenario, but I've always been a little skittish about apps that don't store files in plain text in case I want/need to use a different editor. Sounds like that hasn't been an issue for you, though, which is cool.
