#2I also only found out about Obsidian recently and I've become interested in switching. So far for my notes for the last several years I've just been using raw tex files with TexStudio, and creating various level subsections with macros bound to key combos as needed. It works quite well with the navigation tree and MDI, but Obsidian sounds like it might be a better solution.

#3For neovim, there's the obsidian.nvim[1] plugin.
There's also zk[2], a zettelkasten-based notetaking tool like Obsidian, but the functionalities are provided through a CLI and LSP server.

#4for emacs, there is obsidian.el - https://github.com/licht1stein/obsidian.el

#5For me the main benefit of Obsidian is live-rendering editor + other handy features. Not having to look at two panes side-by-side (or having to parse the markdown format in my head) is such a QOL improvement.
Neovim might never be able to provide complete live-rendering. I don't blame it though, I wouldn't want terminals to become a rendering engine.
Edit: Grammar

#6Just use one note, or a wiki.

Funny enough, Obsidians live rendering has shown me that plaintext sucks, and that I want richtext and data structures for my stuff. Just that there is no good tool for this. Notion and its clones are the best in that regard, but they suck in their own regard, mainly because they are online-only. And considering how many tried to replicate Notion in obsidian-extensions (and failed), I'm not the only one I guess. There probably is a market for a modern hacker-friendly offline richtext-IDE that no one has satisfied yet.

The Ggraph is another major feature. I wish I had the same in form of a widget (a desktup GUI toolkit widget preferably) to experiment with. Obsidian is such a great app but still is very far from what I want to I'd love to be able to build a similar thing from blocks for myself.

#9For an open source alternative to obsidian check out Trilium. Electron based and with a whole lot of features and possible tinkering

Also check out logseq, workflows a bit different but pretty intuitive if you're taking notes instead of doing longform writing.
