I have dozens of Dataview queries going on in Obsidian, and many templates that install a query into a note. I’ve fiddled a bit with the (relatively) new Bases feature which I suppose is the in-house replacement for Dataview. I don’t like that it relies wholly on key-value property pairs in the YAML front matter and has no capacity to find inline key-value pairs like Dataview can. Just my personal tic, but I prefer inline metadata over YAML metadata. Also, setting up a base is fiddly and always involves tweaking.

Is anyone here using Bases for serious work?
