I'm really interested in homebrew but I find the form format really tedious. For magic items it is manageable but for monsters it gets to be more than I want. Is there tooling for importing/exporting to another format?
There isn't one. And it's extremely unlikely there ever will be (it's a lot more complicated than you think and their devs are stretched thing as it is).

I totally understand software teams being stretched thin. Makes complete sense to me.
That said, complicated doesn't mean impossible.
Spent a little time poking last night and I'd say its possible to do an export/import by copy+pasting the html for the homebrew edit page of a monster into a text file and doing some parsing. It's markup language after all, so all the data is there (and a lot more than what you need too with all the webpage formatting). I wonder if anyone has started down this route so I'm not reinventing the wheel doing it myself?
