Re:Joplin – a note taking and to-do application with synchro...

I tried a few note taking apps but in the end came to the realization that regular editors are actually better at the job.
My reasoning:
* _Sync_ should not be solved by the note app (applications that implement sync themselves are usually buggy, I prefer to outsource sync to nextcloud / dropbox / ...)
* I want the same _editing capabilities_ as usual (block edit etc., note apps are usually less power full editors)
* A _tree organization_ is important to me, which is trivially solved using editors and the file system
* There are _Markdown_ packages for pretty much every editor.
Note taking apps tend to ship these features but are not as mature as editors are.
