Why do people use Obsidian as a productivity tool and what are the advantages of using it over Notion?
I've seen a lot of people to use Obsidian purely for just jotting down some notes here or there or have massive markdown compiled lists of information that are necessary to their work/everyday needs.
It seems like a massive hassle to setup though, which is unlike Notion's more modular take on productivity.
My main question is if you are using Obsidian as your own daily productivity tool and tracker for whatever, what are the pros and cons of using Obsidian rather than Notion? There are so many things to setup and learn how to do compared to Notion.
EDIT:
Also btw i am NOT hating on Obsidian, i also found Notion to be limited and hard to use at times, I am a completely new user to Obsidian so maybe i'm just slow at trying to figure out the markdown formatting lmao
EDIT 2:
Thank you to everyone who shed some thoughts and insights on Obsidian!
