I'm gonna push back against the "backbone of Obsidian" part. I'll argue that vanilla Obsidian is plenty powerful enough.

I know many people swore / swear by the datatables plugin, but now that Bases in core, you can get pretty far without it, no?

I agree with you that vanilla Obsidian is plenty powerful, but it's exactly like Vim's case. It's good enough on its own, but there's always more.

There's countless articles and videos about various community plugins and even curated selections of them depending on your use case for Obsidian.

I can't do without the livesync plugin. And also copilot (connected to a locally hosted LLM of course) and readitlater.
