1) because VCs invested in it
2) I highly recommend Ulysses for this, which has the best writing experience IMO, can open /save external .md files like a txt editor, and is polished and mature across devices.
- submeta 6y ago+1 for Ulysses. It‘s got all the features I was asking for: markdown, tagging, folders, offline, beautiful UI, a go-to-anywhere (omnisearch), saved searches, and the company has a history of over ten years (not VC backed). Been using all kinds of writing apps / tools since the 90s: AskSam, Netmanage‘s ECCOPro, IdeaMatrix on my Blackberry, Emacs+Org, my various own tools, Evernote, Joplin, Notion and a dozen other tools. In the end I settled with simple, plain markdown text, some Python + bash scripts, and a nice markdown editor like iA Writer or Ulysses, which is the current editor I am using. Its target audience seem to be writers of all sorts producing large texts. But it is actually a pretty good Zettelkasten tool as well. Re RoamResearch: I would never entrust my personal data / notes into an online only service (that was just created!) I am old enough to know that products come and go, the most important thing is my personal data.
