…I’m pretty sure every feature in obsidian can be done in emacs.
It definitely can. Unfortunately, I was the only emacs user on my team at work, so switching from org-mode to something that used plain markdown files was beneficial. There’s a network effect here – sharing notes is valuable.
Also, since Obsidian (and Logseq, which is what I use now) both use save plain markdown files, you can still edit your notes in emacs.
Honestly emacs is pretty decent for almost every text related task and many non text related tasks as well.
For sure, emacs is still my favorite operating system. :)

(Neo)Vim guy here. That’s something that I love and hate about emacs. It’s powerful and extensible to the point of being intimidating (being basically a lisp interpreter that can write lisp is crazy, in a good way). If I didn’t do work on remote machines, I’d probably give it another go, as I enjoyed it the when I used it before. Just not enough time these days, with all of the other stuff that I want to do.

Obsidian looks interesting, but I’m already using emacs and I’m pretty sure every feature in obsidian can be done in emacs.

I personally only use emacs for it’s org-mode. However, the few times I needed to remote edit files TrampMode has been on point.
Just letting you all know this exists.
That’s pretty awesome.
