For me the thing that made me give up using Notion was the “feel” of the basic text editing. There was a latency and lagginess to the way it responded that made it so unsatisfying and, at worst, irritating to use that I couldn’t go on.
Typing this, it feels weird to give up because of such a subtle thing, but there were probably a dozen more details lacking in this way that eroded all of the goodwill won by the flashy features.
In something as seemingly simple as a text editor it turns out that if it’s not built on a solid foundation of usability then I very quickly sour on the rest of it.
Currently using Obsidian and am very pleased. I’m happy with how “light” it feels.
- Thorentis 3y agoAs much as Atlassian stuff is hated on, Confluence Cloud editing feels butter smooth and very simple. The slash commands are a nice addition and it's improved quite a lot since the early days of confluence.
- ohgodplsno 3y agoNow Atlassian only needs to fix the absolutely awful search bar that never finds what you want and the dreadful performance that makes even a developer's machine lag when navigating.
- camgunz 3y agoYeah I felt this too. IME non-engineers love Notion, but engineers hate it because it's a pretty bad version of the system they're probably already using to organize themselves. Maybe this is too dismissive but I can't help but feel like it's just the latest "find a UNIX service/app (Vim/Emacs), make a worse SaaS version, $$$".
