Your comment really resonates with me (as a general point, not specifically about OP article which is about note-taking as a whole.) For example, when a Youtube creator makes videos about new PKM apps/systems, they are getting secondary benefits that ordinary users are not. Tinkering with new apps can be fun, but often not worth the actual trouble of learning and converting over to a new app/system. Worse, it can be a source of procrastination in itself. But the Youtuber pushing out monthly videos about the hot new thing is accomplishing their main purpose of making new Youtube content (which is of course fine.) I personally started using Obsidian late last year, and have no real desire to look at anything new. It works great for me, and the active plugin development community provides enough new shiny stuff to try out at every now and then. ;-)
