Fun little post. An Arc & Notion early adopter right there. Probably using Dia now. Also the short phrases, and lowercase writing. I know a few like that, toned down over the years but still a pretty consistent subset: The ones that were doing hyperdetailed skeuomorphic iOS icons in Omnigraffle or Sketch back then in 2010, but suddenly remembered how they always loved minimalism when iOS 7 came out. Or Rails early adopters.
I do observe their workflow and tools as some sort of vibe check every few years, don't agree on everything; they don't seem to favor solutions that seek to remain stable over time, but also aren't full tinkerer experimental. They also avoid the design-experimental part, kind of like the weird yet productive nadir, like tools that resemble the AmigaOS times.
The Obsidian comparison was a cheap shot, compare to Vim? Come on. I wonder where does this person stand on other stuff like Vivaldi or Brave. Or notetaking apps like Affine or Anytype. Or Reflect, Recall, Rewind. Or Screenpipe. Whatever.
