Re: People who use Notion to plan their whole lives
#2As a Notion-user, this just seems excessive to me.
I love Notion because it gives me the ability to make "lightweight" notes/pads fast. I've since learned to utilize the linked database features which makes it easier to organize notes, tasks and projects.
At some point however, it feels like it just becomes busy-work to make new boxes to check, new links, relations and what-not.
To me the beauty is in the simplicity, cross-platform capabilities and relative ease with which I can create and access simple notes fast.
EDIT: I forgot templates. I use 2 or 3 templates for notes and "new projects". I never use more than 5 columns for my projects/notes either. And I don't have any "dashboards" besides my task-list (that I can sort as kanban with four status-indicators - basic stuff).

I wonder if they offer an option to export the data in some usable format.

Unless there's a tangible monetary benefit in doing so, I don't see why that would be a good business decision.
It is likely that there will be some use cases for power users, however one must justify the development and opportunity costs associated with that.

They probably don't care or think they have nothing to hide or probably never stumbled across numerous self hosted alternatives
