Notion, Obsidian and Apple Notes for me at the moment.

I'm surprised you're using all 3. I would have thought Obsidian could replace my Notion workspace completely. Which Notion features are missing for you?

Obsidian is good but I don't think it can replace my Notion project setup. Obsidian is mostly text based whereas Notion is feature rich with tables, galleries, images and countless integrations like Figma and Github etc...

Plus it has the public API which extends its features even more. Obsidian has a much better writing experience though compared to Notion and its annoying blocks which make copy and pasting frustrating. Apple Notes is my backup or alternative to Obsidian. Currently debating whether to use it at all or stick with Obsidian. Apple Notes is good for having private locked notes etc...

I agree with you 100%. The blocks are indeed annoying on desktop but it makes Notion frustrating to use on my Samsung tablet. I wonder if it would be possible to IFTTT certain things to Notion. My amin concern with Obsidian is getting locked in once I start installing 3rd party apps 😫
