What’s your take on Notion?
How about Vscode or whatever editor you use (which you're trusting already, and know all the shortcut keys for) editing Markdown files with descriptive names organized into folders that are backed up via Google Drive or Dropbox? What's the benefits of Obsidian over this? I've seen Obsidian lets you add link between files, but I find all I really need is separate files for different notes and todo lists, I'd rather li…
Obsidian. All markdown files that you control. You can always sync it with Dropbox or any other if you choose to. Markdown files will be readable forever, and it is free.

I will try Obisidian for sure. But can we interactively do something with taken notes, like dragging them etc?
What is the purpose of the "dragging notes" flow you mention? I am sure it can be done in the text-first way that Obsidian uses.

This is mentioned, I liked the idea but it might be overkill to take simple notes. On the other hand interactivity while structuring the notes might be beneficial time to time. Like dragging them and observe them etc.
For me, I mostly have a file for each project/topic, and if a file gets too big, I'll split it into multiple files with the project/topic name + some tag names in the filename. And to open/find files, Vscode gives you a folder/file viewer sidebar to browse, the command palette lets you search for and open files via partial filenames, and you can search files for keywords too, all via shortcut keys. That's enough for me.
Easy come easy go.
I think it easy to get trapped by formatting and publishing. IMHO: Notes are fast and not pretty. If/when I come to the situation where I want to share, then formats like markdown or latex etc are a better fit. When I have to start 'coding' my notes, it becomes a time burden and I end up skipping it. In complicated situations, I will go the other extreme and fire up inkscape.
