Was using joplin, tried obsidian and quickly went back to joplin.
Org Mode.
I want you to know that you’re a heretic - orgmode outside of Emacs is a thing which should not be.

your own hacked together wrapper around sqlite as a plugin for your text editor of choice
Just use emacs.
I’m scared of cults and not ever being truly enlightened is a risk I’m willing to take. Maybe one day.
Seriously though, in terms of longevity, where I want the dependencies of my system to last for the rest of my life and to be easily installed on as many machines throughout the rest of my life, SQLite (and pure Python for the wrapper, using only the std lib) seem like good bets. Better bets than emacs and org-mode, perhaps not, but certainly without the baggage of being bound to a text editor.
EDIT: just clicked the link, lol.
Once HedgeDoc 2.0 comes out with the “Explore” page, I’m pretty sure that will take over for Obsidian for me. I have played around with all the fancy features in Obsidian, I just don’t think I need the majority of them.
you are correct i feel guilty every time I use it. but making my company pay for a license on every job I work on. it’s got one of the best licenses you can get for proprietary software. my only concern is it might go away and can’t last forever like open source can.

For corporate use software I couldn’t care less. But for private use I’d never rely on closed source software that requires me to buy a usage license.
Big issue IMO. Never touched it for that reason.
A personal knowledge system has to be designed to last the rest of your life.
very true the only reason I’m okay with it is the files are standard markdown and there is no database that locks you in. the only thing keeping me with them is features and workflow. if any open source project gets feature parity I would switch tomorrow
