This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I was using Obsidian for a while, but actually switched when I found an awesome open source alternative, SilverBullet. The best comparison would be "Obsidian but for tinkerers/hackers".
Data is stored plaintext the same as obsidian - I actually just copy pasted my vault and it worked with exception of wikilinks being absolute paths only - and haven't looked back
The only downside is that its in early stages of development, but definitely usable
I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.
I like Silverbullet, but I could never get the file tree to work well. Any tips? Or is that not a feature you use?
Excellent news for myself. I've wanted to use this at work but it's hard enough to convince people to use it without asking for money.
Excellent news ! Excellent note taking applications with its ecosystem of extensions.
Dynalist is where it's at.
I wanted to go all in on Obsidian, but in the end I went with "Upnote" which has an easy UI and a lifetime price. (No monthly fees). It's like a mix of Evernote and OneNote. The Slash commands are so cool too.
It's a different thing. What Obsidian and Logseq offer is plain-text markdown files in folders on your disk. Upnote and most of the other alternatives mentioned in this post store their data in a database.
Different thing altogether. Just depends what you're looking for.
Read whole page. Not sure what Obsidian even is?
Its a staggeringly powerful app. Utilizing the markdown format and the Dataview plugin to create queries with metadata in your notes allows you to build INSANE knowledge management systems.

Note-taking app. Each note is a markdown file, so you can add formatting.
It's like trillium, but not open source Here is an enthusiastic person talking about the state of the art of one year ago for 20 minute. https://youtu.be/XRpHIa-2XCE
What is a Trillium?
It's like a Bilium, but with one more
What is Billum?
It's like Millium, but one more.
