Obsidian isn't as bad as Notion, but it's also proprietary. Unfortunately, there is no good company in this space.

  Doesn’t really matter since the underlying data (markdown files) is what obsidian uses (vs hosting the data on their cloud). So in the event that they don’t survive or enact policies I disagree with, nothing changes for me

    Their markdown is not standard, so stuff might still change for you.

      It's not standard, but that's not a surprise, as Markdown is a pretty barebones format. Most of what they extended it with is pretty simple, like [[wikilinks]]. There are also other tools being developed that can work with the custom syntaxt extensions. Also, at the end of the day, it's still just plain text. You won't lose any of your data if you no longer use Obsidian.
