I started to switch to Apple Notes a year ago, loved it, then discovered there is no good way to export all notes as text for backup.

Any suggestions?

Open up Script Editor and paste in:

    tell application "Notes" to get body of every note

You might of course want to build a little around this — save the results, etc.
