+1 on notion... It has replaced the following apps for me:

Boostnote
Evernote
Trello
Parts of Google calendar

I use it for:
Tracking personal goals, projects, recipes, general ideas and inspiration, gift ideas, tasks, appointments, course notes in markdown, code snippets and workflow cheat sheets,and my workout log!

Curious, how do you guys use it for code snippets?

I would also love a example on how to organise code snippets in notion. I was thinking of creating one big board with a tag on the different code bases, js, vue, php, regex, ect or create a board for each.

Is the code experience better in Notion than Boostnote ?

I have never used Boostnote, but I have 0 complaints about code in Notion

There are some things that are more text editor-like with boost.

However, I'm more than happy with notion. I did ask them to create a new feature where you can specify the code type without having to select from a drop-down menu. Hopefully they'll implement it soon.
