The guys at TMM have been grea to work with. I can't speak for the alternatives, but I'm a happy customer.

There is a csv export button in the affiliates admin and the member admin so I don't see what the big deal on migration is.
I am sure there is a method for redirecting the links as well, you most likely won't be able to retain any affiliate tracking without nats but changes come at a price. Besides you'd be hard pressed to find a reason to switch away from it unless you're just throwing in the towel.
In the rare case that you really had to get away you could just give your affiliates a few months to get set up in your new system and swap out links and run 2 systems concurrently during the transition. Sure they would bitch about the transition but the ones who really matter would take the time to adapt.
We're talking about something that has probably never actually happened and most likely won't, but hypothetically it's not the end of the world. You can export most of the key data from nats with a single button - well, 2 of them.
