By leaking, I mean how much of other content I see when I'm using the app for some purpose where that content isn't important. It has been a while since I used Roam, so maybe these points have significantly improved. But the first thing I would see when I logged into Roam was the most recent page. I don't care about these things, Obsidian with a plugin allows me to create a a home page from an MD file which then has links to whatever else I want. Roam also pushed things like a daily journal and backlinks in the sidebar. Most of the time, I don't want to see backlinks and I don't use the daily journal. I only want to see exactly what I have set the thing to show, anything else is a distraction. With Obsidian, all of this is so much more configurable, and easy to do so. I think a lot of the thinking overhead issues people have when they think "where do I put this" is from seeing too much stuff which isn't important to what they are working on.
