Notion and Obsidian are completely different tools and not comparable. Notion is difficult to master and manage, making it highly inconvenient for personal use, especially for simple note-taking. While it's suitable for business and team use as an integrated tool for multiple simultaneous purposes, it's overrated considering that most users don't utilize it this way. On the other hand, Obsidian, while also versatile, is primarily suited for second-brain purposes like learning notes, journaling, and idea development.

The only thing I really liked about Notion is the lines and blocks that can be moved and you can VISUALLY organise your notes and links neatly, but it is not offering as much as Obsidian. I used Notion for a year, for half of which I started to use only Google Keep and tags. Later I tried Evernote which is increadibly rigid in terms of exporting, managing my notes and organising. I even paid for 2 months of premium to check out if I can stick to Evernote or not. Now I am sacrificing 2 days of my dayoffs to learn Obsidian and I can already see that it is a gamechanger. Notion is not even close to Obsidian, it just LOOKS easier than Obsidian, which is not the case - also when I used Notion, it was totally online... Obsidian is incredibly simple in terms of storing your notes locally on your harddrive which you can easily sync with mutplie cloud services - if you want.

Can you do a comparison between obsidian and reflect?

Obsidian is so flexible and powerful to hold your train of thought and semi automate the process or standard that is efficient for u. It speeds up a lot of things I use it for reading serious stuffs and , highlighting and making summary. It makes my reading so efficient. Learning so fast. And recalling so efficient.

I think it should be relatively safe to use 3rd party plugins in Obsidian as they are open source.

Totally agreed generally speaking, but projects go out of maintenance all the time and don't get picked up, sadly.

I just got into Obsidian a little over a month or go - coming from Coda. Trying to create a "Media Catalog" of all my photos and videos, I LOVE how Obsidian can link to files _on my hard drive_ and especially the Media Extended plugin where I can annotate my videos!! I'm loving Obsidian at this point in time - I just wish there was an available plugin that helps you rename your files and move them around to other locations etc., while keeping track of them all. (Gearing up to learn how to develop them myself...)
