I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

I don't mean to be all "BuT iT's cLOseD SoURce" but you should give Logseq or Zettlr a try. They're similar WYSIWYG markdown editors, but also FOSS. Zettlr also has vim keys.

Plus Obsidian is horrible at editing tables.

I just commented this elsewhere, but I personally feel that their reasons for being closed source are worse than actually just being closed source.

They also want to be able to support their families by making money through the Obsidian application, which could be more difficult in an open source environment.

This is the only one that seems really legit to me. That and the other commenter that said open source is more work, which is probably true, and if you're not getting benefit it could be a net loss.

Open source does not mean open license.
