I regularly use Joplin and like it very much. But I guess note taking isn't for me. It's very far from having changed my life. Joplin is amazing for taking media-rich notes, combining PDFs attachments, images, bulleted lists, URLs, code snippets etc. into a single document. No other tool I know provides such richness. Whenever I need this unique combination, Joplin is a good bet. Regularly, I have files that fit nowhere, like a stray PDF that neither fits in my personal DMS (paperless-ng) nor into literature management software (Zotero); Joplin often is a good place for it. Allows to delete the file locally but still have confidence it's kept (with Joplin backed by Nextcloud, which is in turn backed up).
On the other hand, I recently flattened (that is: deleted a bunch of superfluous, deep hierarchy) my Joplin notebooks. Flat is better than nested in this case, it was a good change to make.
I wonder if "frequently reorganizing" notes is not an anti-pattern. Who wants to do that? It's a waste of time.
