logseq feels such an anti-intuitive mess to use, haha. struggling to even get the cards work.

  Yeah I agree about that. I actually didn't figure out what it can do and how it can be used until I watched a few youtube videos watching other people actually use it and then it clicked. The video that helped me get a vision of ways I can use it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN6tjeQfxRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN6tjeQfxRc This is nitpicking but I wish there were more videos of people just using PKM systems without all the talking about philosophy of note taking etc. A lot of the video was "... wait, you can do that? I want to do that. How the hell did she do that?" which is a good way to learn the tool, but can be frustrating. Of note: My mode of writing is to collect/generate messes of ideas and then clean them up and organize them iteratively to create structure and polish. I'm one of the people who used to write on index cards and then compose by rearranging them on my bed. I loved abusing Word's outline mode for rough drafts and restructuring and refactoring text and have been trying to explain the missing functionality to OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice for over a decade ("we have outline mode you just click the thing" "no it's not about creating an outline of document structure" "hey we improved outline check it out see if it looks better" loops). So when I saw some of logseq in action it was an "omg this looks even better than Word's outline mode" sort of thing. The next thing I wish logseq would do is allow you to double click to explode paragraphs and temporarily separate sentences into bullets for processing and reorganizing.
