So you only use Obsidian for its vaults/syncing?

My workflow isn't reliant on Obsidian's plugins, they just make stuff easier.
Like having a template for my Daily Note that also automatically includes all files tagged #todo using Data View. Or a few global shortcuts via Keyboard Maestro that open specific notes on Obsidian.
I could maybe whip up a similar system in a day on top of any editor that can render Markdown and handle links, but now I don't need to.
You certainly could create your own lock-in by making some unique workflow that requires a combination of plug-ins to function. The plugins are all third party, some of them are just annotating the existing markdown files, some are just visual.
