I love that I can dump all my knowledge there and have it be easily searchable on my PC, phone, etc. I love that I can take notes, attach PDFs and images, or make my own canvases and excalidraw diagrams. It's awesome and flexible.

I hate that it's not FOSS. I appreciate that it's an open format (plaintext Markdown files) and prefer closed app and open data to the reverse (Joplin is open source, but mangles notes into a database). I'm strongly considering giving logseq a try, but some of my favorite obsidian features have become a crutch that I don't know if I want to live without.

I really just want it to be open source.

I also really missed the Outline feature of Logseq when using it. It's hard to lose that.

I feel the pain, I also really want it to be open source (and I think it's funny that they talk about most of the community plugins being open source as a plus, but don't recognise how that could be a plus for the app as well if they open sourced it).

As for missing bits of LogSeq, I use both LogSeq and Obsidian together. I have my LogSeq graph and Obsidian vault use the same folder, and have them configured so they use the same default folders and date formats. It works quite well for me
