    Have you considered they might be trading off on aspects that you don't care or don't know about? As a sibling comment noted, a BOM might be $X compared to buying premade packages …

    I use vanilla* VS Code with the built-in Markdown previewer. My notes are a flat structure of Markdown files (personal) or a single folder for each project (work). *I have a plugin…

    I personally use keepass, but could make a case for why one would prefer a subscription tool over Bitwarden: I feel confident that I could look up a few articles and self-host Bitw…

    https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ fulfills most of your requirements, it seems. SFTP access, file upload, very cheap pay-as-you-go (traffic spikes will hit the $0 floor and stop in…

    My org has just started using Slack (probably like many others), while I used it before because of my college capstone team -- hoping this helps incentivize them to adopt it!
