If conventional wikis are a framing hammer, roam is a nail gun. It's not just about the outcome, but about the ergonomics of creating the outcome. Lowering the friction of wiki creation leads to more and better wikis, even if you change nothing else (although they do). Roam has easy bracket syntax for turning a word into a tag, which creates a sort of intermediate index page for that concept, linking out and showing snippets of its usage across all other documents, and allowing you to maintain that content in a single place. The two-way/retroactive nature of this is really helpful compared to e.g. notion where if I reference page A on page B, I have to manually create a link on page B to page A, creating a fragile web of unmaintainable connections. Roam does this out of the box. I find the graph stuff visually interesting but mostly uninteresting for now, but the potential is huge. Once the graph has weighting and filtering, I think it's going to be wildly useful.
