I've followed a similar path to the author. Tried Notion, loved until it went down for 8 hours without offline support, and then moved to Obsidian with github sync without any plug in. But time and time again I keep asking myself why. In the end, Sublime (or vim) actually is just enough for how I use Obsidian. The only thing missing is a good reference management system; linking my own notes seems like trying to solve the wrong problem; all I really need is to keep track of what sparked those ideas/notes, and then I don't necessarily need to keep track of my thoughts;if they were meaningful I will deduce it from those references anyway. So I just went back to Zotero for reference management. Quick notes can just go in to a big text file and then refactored later. (bonus for spaced repetition) Obsidian is a nice app but it feels like it's a product solving the symptoms (wrong priorities in note taking) rather than a tool to support healthy habit
