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.

FWIW I was using LogSeq for a while because I wanted a FOSS obsidian equivalent... As I discovered, it isn't really an equivalent at all, it's very much it's own thing. One thing LogSeq really doesn't do well is long form notes, I tried using it in combination with Zettlr for long form notes, which was good when I was doing my academic and engineering work, but didn't really fit with my personal notes very well.

I recently decided to try LogSeq and Obsidian together and so far I'm finding it really works well. I treat LogSeq as my daily notepad, I put in my tasks and small thoughts. I use Obsidian for my more permanent, bigger notes about things. My LogSeq graph and Obsidian vault are the same folder, and I have it configured so both use the same date format and assets folder. The only thing I've yet to check is if I can use YAML front matter in LogSeq in place of their style of front matter, because they would make the notes fit together much better.
