The beauty of Obsidian (at least) is that it does not matter whether the company is still around. It’s your files in a standard Markdown format.

I used to think so. Now I believe it's a misconception.

Not all your notes can be just Markdown format. You will have image files. And then different apps handle image file location differently. Joplin turns attachment filenames to random strings.

Also, Markdown format is insufficient. I will need categories and subcategories, etc. And then different apps handle those differently.
