Agreed, I use it with as few options and extensions as possible. I don’t want to start creating a complex system of notes that will rely on anything specific. I try to stick to the core functions without any extras because of the worry of eventually falling into a proprietary black hole. I keep my foot in just enough to get my uses but not so much that I might get stuck with the software.

But the nice thing about it is that its data store is just a bunch of markdown files in a folder structure, and very easily migrated to any other comparable application. They may have the code but they don’t take the data hostage like a lot of commercial software does.

It’s insane obsidian isn’t open source, since it’s just a fancy vscode plugin or fork basically (idk how they developed it obviously but that’s all you’d need to do). That’s why I don’t use it. It’s too simple not to be OSS

Yeah they even say if you don’t like what they do in the future you can easily pickup your md files and take them elsewhere.
