Leaving Evernote for Mac Files ... I only use EN as a file cabinet

It's not a bad idea if it meets your requirements   
However, I prefer to store/organize my files in a Digital File Cabinet service    
for integrated extended features

Make sure you implement data backups; you're losing the Evernote protection

Tags are very useful, but it's often difficult to find the good ones in a short moment.

With Evernote Legacy on my Mac, I use a script (Applescript) to assist with tag assignment

First level is one or more !Type-******** tags   
This drives further tag assignment;    
for example !Tag-Receipt notes require ?Vendor-****, and !Budget-**** tags   
The script generates suggestion dropdown lists, using the database tag list

Or to they turn into their own instance of the sheet that is embedded in evernote?

Confirmed - the spreadsheet is stored (embedded) in the Evernote database as a note file attachment   

Editing with the native app requires a download from the database    
This is done automatically in Windows/Mac

Do you mean .enex format which is based on html? 

Actually enml format based on html (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/enml.php)   
The local database in Evernote Legacy (Mac) actually presents a content.enml for every note   
  
I have trouble working with the .enex format because attachment files are embedded,    
(instead of separate files in native format)

Fortunately, there are so many great note taking tools out there that we could use.

I'm more concerned with storage and organization for my notes/documents/files   
I like the concept of using a digital file cabinet

As to "note taking", I agree there's no shortage of note editors available   
I've found Evernote's integrated editor to be the best at wysiwyg editing for html based notes   
(my preferred note format)

Maybe the approach should be to treat v10 as a new app that actually imports enex files.

That's my approach (new app)    
btw; enex file import not required for migration; both products use the same cloud database

I will one day have the time and energy to migrate to something else. Maybe I am forced to because Evernote is shutting down. I actually even hope it. 

As a long time Evernote Legacy (old and good) user, I experienced that day more than a year ago
(Actually Evernote Legacy is still functional, but it's clearly "shutting down")      
So, I made my decision as to where "to migrate to something else"   

It's up to you to evaluate the alternatives, and make a selection  
Evernote Version 10 is one of alternatives; possibly requiring the least "time and energy" for migration

So what's the recommended way to backup notes for posterity, like say in 5 years Evernote has gone caput

I think the best export "for posterity" is html format using the Legacy product  
html format is a close match to Evernote's native enml format
Attachments are also included in the export; in their native format   
The notes are read-able by any browser app   

>I need to move my thousands of notes to some new application.

.enex format is the de-facto standard for moving data to a new application

>with notebook and tag info preserved

Notebook information is not preserved unless there's separate exports for each notebook
Tag information is preserved, but is imbedded in the data contents

Even tried that ugly Devonthink but just cant

Can you add details about "that ugly Devonthink"   
I'm a satisfied user, primarily because of the scripting integration (Applescript)   
fwiw  Devonthink is Apple platform only,  has no cloud service; no web access.  Our data is stored locally, on our devices

If I forward the message to my EN address, only the subject and the body of the message ...

When I forward a message, the forward header lines are stripped (to me, from me)  
 but the original header lines are retained

I recently removed a device (laptop) so I could use evernote on my phone and tablet, now all my notes are gone

Evernote is a cloud service; your notes are stored in the cloud on Evernote servers     
Your notes are not "gone"    
With a web browser (any device);  access Evernote at www.evernote.com using the correct userid/password

Does Evernote provide a feature to schedule monthly exports of all your Notes on your computer?

I do a weekly export of all my notes    
I had it automated in Evernote Legacy with scripting (Applescript on my Mac)   
No automation in Evernote v10, and can only export by notebook
  
My purpose is to backup my note data; incremental in native format   
.enex or database backups have limited use in restoring specific notes   
   
fwiw  Evernote Note History gives access to Evernote's automatic incremental backup data

I'm now using Apple Notes and DevonThink. They suit my workflow much better.

I understand Devonthink for storage/organization

How does Apple Notes fit in?   
For handwriting support, I use the Notability app; with the documents stored in Devonthink

Just include a word preceded by a character like #, @ or $ e.g. #home. Then use the text search

You might need a different identifier, for example _home
My understanding is that special characters (except underscore) are excluded from the search indexing

date:year-1 give me this year and last year.

Search grammar is documented at https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax

"date" is not a valid term   
created:20210101 returns all notes created on or after 20210101    
you need to add -created:20220101 to exclude this year's entries    
   
My process is to include the year in the tagnames; example Tax2021, Tax2022

notetaking software

What "note taking" problems are you having?   
imho Evernote's note editor is a solid feature that works well

   
I'm actually more concerned with note storage and organization

What are some useful ways to track daily habits using Evernote?

I use a daily note as a combination planner/journal/dashboard   
It's created each morning from a template, and I insert entries after reviewing my calendars and task list

One section of the note is used for habits  
Example

Habits   
Make Bed: x   
Shower: x
Brush Teeth: xx
Exercise   
     Walk: xx   
     Group: x

I also use a spreadsheet for tracking; 2 pages long, 30 years wide
It could include habits   

As to a repeating reminder; I use Apple Reminders on a Mac and iPad

What I'd like to see is Stack > Notebooks > Sections > Notes

My vote is for a parent-child hierarchy (unlimited levels)

1 hour ago, Kyliegirl said:

could you tell me how to do this?

Are you asking about text encryption in a note?   
I provided a link to the Evernote documentation

I reflect hierarchy in the tag name   
For example !Budget, !Budget-Housing, !Budget-HousingRent

And is that attachment encrypted by the external editor or do you safe it unencrypted in EN ?

Confirmed, encryption is done by the external editor     
I edited my post to make that clear

Evernote does not support note encryption   
There is only a feature for text encryption

My solution to the list of passwords is to use an external editor - I use Apple Pages    
Edit: The external editor does it's own encryption and 
the document is saved in Evernote as a note file attachment

Or maybe give us some guarantee that notes are backed up and completely disconnected from both Evernote PROD infrastructure

I think it's unreasonable to expect Evernote to backup data "completely disconnected from the "Evernote infrastructure" 
Note that Evernote uses external server services (Google Cloud), and no longer maintain their own data centres   
I am confident the data is backed up   
   
Regardless, I still maintain personal backups in in a simple folder/file structure   
For an Evernote user, this would be export in html format

>>I have 71 notebooks (1111 notes). I also use tags, but my prime organization method is through the hierarchy (sometimes I wish I had more levels).

Tag methodology is Evernote's primary organization method  
I basically have  single notebook, with tags as my primary organization method   
Hierarchy (unlimited levels) is supported with Tags
