Unfortunately that is the case. However, I like to use both, Joplin for quick notes and Obsidian for larger collections of notes. I find switching between notebooks in Joplin much faster than between vaults in Obsidian. Yeah, everyone seeme to prefer different note taking apps. Might have to try silverbullet though as well as “Trilium”, which someone else suggested that looks similar to Obsidian.
Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

I’m really sorry but Joplin is not and will not ever be “objectively” better than Obsidian. SilverBullet is subjectively better than Obsidian though. Note taking is such a heavily opinionated matter that there’s no scope for objectivity there.

I don’t know how it compares, but I’ve been meaning to give Zettlr a try. The thing about notes apps is, to me at least, few digital tools are more personal. For some people it’s their diaries. Because of that I would consider privacy to be such a critical feature that I would never even consider using a proprietary app no matter how many bells and whistles it has, or how many people swear by it.
