Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?
I tried nearly all the good alternatives but they either don't let me use folder structures or use proprietary formats stored inside databases.
I can't understand why there is nothing like it... Trilium would be perfect but I need my files in freely usable markdown...
I saw some time ago on the Joplin github that they might add the option of saving the notes in markdown somehow, but not sure that's implemented or even progressing.
