Switched to Obsidian and never looking back
By FrostVibe801 — 4/5 stars
Made the switch to Obsidian about three months ago after years with the competition. The difference is night and day. Everything just feels smoother and more polished. Setup was painless and I was productive within the first hour. If you're considering making the jump, just do it.
6 months with Obsidian — here's my honest take

Known Issues
Battery drain issue with Obsidian
Has anyone else noticed severe battery drain with Obsidian recently? Mine went from lasting all day to barely making it past noon. I haven't changed my usage patterns. Wondering if a recent firmware update caused this regression.

Anyone else notice Obsidian has changed lately?
Is it just me or has Obsidian been different recently? The recent updates seem to have shifted the direction of the product. Some changes are welcome but others feel like a step backwards. Curious to hear if others feel the same way or if I'm being too critical.
Why I switched from Notion to Obsidian and never looked back
After 3 years of Notion I made the switch to Obsidian. Here's why:
1. **Local-first**: My notes are mine. Markdown files on my disk. No vendor lock-in.
2. **Speed**: Obsidian is FAST. Notion had gotten painfully slow with my 5000+ notes.
3. **Plugins**: The community plugin ecosystem is incredible.
The state of Obsidian in 2026
With all the competition in this space, where does Obsidian stand heading into 2026? I think it still has strong fundamentals but the lack of innovation recently is concerning. The ecosystem is mature which is both a strength and a weakness. What do you all think about its future?
