    Btw, I don’t disagree with the title. Of the WYSIWYG markdown editors I’ve tried, Obsidian easily has the best UX with the single-pane preview and inline editing. That being said, Obsidian is trying to be more than a note-taking app. The wobbly graph, canvases, the nonstandard markdown elements might turn people off. The average *nix-user will also likely prefer a community-driven application instead of closed-source, corporate software, gratis or paid.

    The issue is that you made the post in bad faith, to evoke a negative reaction. Some will call it an attempt at trolling, but I think the most appropriate description is “being a dick.”

      Wasn’t trying to be troll, more like expecting humours reaction like

      “So you think, here is this one with same design” or “fine, I will make one now”

      but guess it didn’t came out as I had in my head, I thought it more like expression but maybe it appeared as position of announcement/declaration.

        You are in the wrong audience for that, and I don’t know what thought process led you to expect anything but scorn. It’s like going to a sporting event and sitting with the fans of one team while wearing the other team’s colors.

    Obsidian is literally build in the back of open source work. Without open source, obsidian wouldn’t exist.

    I’m cool with Obsidian because everything is just a bunch of Markdown files. If they go off into the deep end then I can just switch to VScodium or some random text editor.

    Vendor lockin is the real problem with proprietary software.
