People who use Notion to plan their whole lives

At the end of the day, Obsidian is a specialised file explorer operating on text files, links, and images. It is about as simple as it can get.

It doesn’t offer a fraction of what Notion does. The rabbit hole is so much shallower.

Sort of? There's a bunch of plugins for Obsidian that really do augment the hell out of it, so it's still a reasonably deep rabbit hole.

I think it's a different sort of rabbit hole. If you lean in to the graph-based organization and try to build a mind-map, it can get pretty deep. I had to restrain myself when I found organizing every market segment and competitor in my industry, or every technical topic I'd ever come across.

In Notion I think the rabbit hole is overly-complicated documents. In Obsidian it's going crazy with the graph and volume. That and finding the optimal set of plugins.

Obsidian's rabbit hole is hidden in the extensions, which are going far deeper than Notion extension-options. It's really such a shame that Notion has no local native extension-ability.
