Gregory's Server@publicvoit Thanks, I know your series and appreciate them! Your blog is in my feedreader :-)
I was indeed overwhelmed by the amount of options. The thing I found out for myself (n=1) is I find it hard to make a distinction between what to ignore and what I should get into muscle memory.
I still have positive feelings for Emacs, its philosophy and the power of orgmode. Yet I remain drawn to Obsidian because for me it is easier to step in and just use.
@frank Oh, yes. Obsidian ist clearly more optimized for "getting to run fast".
If you're thinking in decades, that's not that relevant any more. 😉
And yes: Emacs doesn't support novice users that much in terms of "please do ignore almost all except ...".
Muscle memory: true. My situation got much better when I adapted hydras as personal cheatsheets. So I don't have to memorize bindings and I have an option to re-discover functionality with that.
