#3I've been enjoying using Noteplan and Obsidian.
The main reason is actually data freedom. By having all the data as plain text I can sync it and backup as I like, move between platforms (macOS, Linux) and if I get bored with those apps or they disappear I switch easily or even write my own.

#6The use of the name "Standard" annoys me, it's presumptuous. You have to earn "standard" status, you can't just claim it
Also, Electron makes this a no-go for me.

After many years with google keep, evernote, standard notes, simplenote, org mode, plain files in git etc. I finally found joplin and couldn't be happier.
