This is a pretty good piece. Two things I wished they’d added:

1. Obsidian is working on a WYSIWYG editor which will replace the plain text/preview approach for those who want it. Considering the pace of development so far and where they are on their roadmap, I imagine we’ll see this fairly soon.

2. Roam offers steep discounts for those who can’t afford it or who use Roam for education. You just have to write and ask.

Also worth reading their post on Roam as a task manager which is linked in that article:
