I still use vimwiki. It has a few warts, but since I'm comfortable with it (as in when you learn some of the leader commands, it becomes more powerful) and files are saved to Dropbox, it makes work and home note taking convenient.
It's particularly nice in that if you are already in vim; <leader>ww will open the wiki index.

I've also been doing some note taking with :set filetype=journal in use with junegunn's nice syntax.

- elliotec 11y agoI have been unable to find an advantage that vimwiki or vim outliner have over just using vim with markdown in a Dropbox directory. Folding, numbering, etc work really well for me for that. What do you like about it in particular over what I could do with markdown?
- grimgrin 11y agoThere are definite advantages to just doing what you do. I like classic markdown syntax more. Things like #foo instead of = foo =. But I particularly like some of the ways vimwiki functions. I like that I can type project_notes and hit <return> and it opens up a new project_notes.wiki, and then I can hit <backspace> to go back to the previous wiki. There are more normal mode keybindings that you might find yourself using. Sometimes I remove unwanted wikis by <leader>wd, which will delete the wiki you are currently viewing (it's nice in that you can see the content then quickly delete). Renaming, too. Maybe I can sum it up to just say I prefer the navigation and handling of new/unwanted files with vimwiki?
