Yay! Good to read validation after trying so many: wikis, org, TheBrain, Freemind, etc. It's like a return to the old .LOG in notepad trick.
After a score, I'm came to the same conclusion as the article; plain text just works. I log in vim using ISO 8601 date stamped records in the log format of (priority - datetime stamp - keywords/tag - content) inspired by Randy Pausch https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0 https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0 others noticed too: https://github.com/nrr-deprecated/todo https://github.com/nrr-deprecated/todo
Sorting by date, priority or keyword keeps me on track and helps for quarterly summaries.
A simple bash loop runs annually to give me a fresh 365 dashboard of days but inserts are a datetime stamp command - keywords autocompleted - then actual typing the meat of the task/content
Because all text is in a single file, vim autocomplete saves typing as I use CamelCase for keywords; vim dict helps too.
Caveat: For enjoyment, I still use fountain pens and paper for a running top 3 priority and scribbling offline. Backup interop is via TiddlyWiki for reference archive and sync with a plain text Zettelkasten (heavy on vim gf, Rg, FZF and jq for TiddlyWiki json export)
Plain text is built to last.
