>Do you ever miss features from traditional note apps, CRM, and web page builders?
Very rarely, and if I do I build them in. But my needs are pretty low -- I'm ok with plain markdown/text for storing most data, or nicely formatted tables. I've found that super-rich document formats with embedded this-and-that don't actually add a lot of value for me (but of course this might be Stockholm syndrome speaking, I suppose).
>Does tool maintenance get in the way of your work?
No, and this is a big consideration for anything I build. I try to design / deploy apps so they require minimum maintenance. Static Go binaries + going slim on frontend dependencies both help with this. The only real "maintenance" I have to do is periodically reboot my Linux box and upgrade the Ubuntu version to the next LTS every few years. All my binaries are deployed as auto-restarting systemd services on an small VPS -- not depending on more serverless-style platforms helps keep maintenance needs low too, I find (though there are disadvantages, it doesn't really apply for one dude running a dozen web apps on a single server).
