    They offer additional features. One Note ties into the MS eco-system in an okish way. Obsidian is basically text (actually md) in a folder/folders but supports plug-ins that can do a lot. Notion is backed by databases. Others run in the terminal and can support plug-ins. Evernote was one of the first to offer additional features and offered syncing and connections to other apps (seems a lot of that has been restricted in the last 15 years).

        Dude you’re on a platform for people who go out of their way to find their own artisanal social media network.

          I’m on a platform because it is free of corporate company control. There is no better security than hand written and properly disposed of notes.

          Retaining digital notes in a massive notepad does nothing but add digital mental clutter. Notes are meant to be temporary fleeting thoughts.

            I think you’re misunderstanding what people mean by “notes” in this context. They’re not meant to be temporary.

        The author of that article seems completely out of touch with the requirements of a modern office. Also, that is in no way related to a note taking app.

        I do agree with the sentiment that low tech can be good. While I find note taking apps helpful, I also like a notebook and pen (even lower tech than a typewriter).
