I've been using Obsidian for months now. I couldn't justify the high sync cost even though the offering is nice. So I hacked a solution with the community plugin "remotely save", syncing to WebDAV. I thought it would be shoddy and after 2 days I would just go with the official solution. But no. Obsidian is a "too good to be true" kind of thing.
Also, the fact that it's just files allows me to shamelessly use Restic to back it up. No "intergrations" or "export workflows" - my data is my own (although it might be snooped by the app), I get to decide what to do with it, how and where to put it.
For me, this is the future. Imagine your data is yours. You get to enjoy all the possible ways of making value out of it, not just in some crippled ways that make other rich people richer.
