At least for me: Speed. Roam is _fast_. I couldn't imagine using a Wiki that has lots of page loads in all sorts of flows because even from localhost, that just takes too long and feels too disruptive, this is one case where a fast SPA really shines. Also, they got things like autocomplete pretty much right, which many Wikis don't have at all. I still find Roam a bit cumbersome (why can't I set my graph to case-insensitive titles?) but the Wikis I've tried have been a lot less streamlined, and as I need to take notes pretty much all the time, little delays and annoyances add up. I'm told org-mode in emacs would be a better experience still, but trying to learn emacs has been one of the most unpleasant things I've ever done with a computer, so I guess I'll stick with Roam or whatever comes around to take its place. It's the first notes app product that feels somewhat right-ish to me.
