I switched to Joplin from folders of text files in dropbox. I'm on Windows and I don't want to pay. It's barely better.

The fact that it forces you to write in markdown, or use external WYSIWYG editors is a massive downside. Even if I wanted to type in markdown, that means I have to keep switching between a markdown pane and a preview pane, like straight-up LaTeX. That's wayyy beyond what I want to deal with for notes.

Notes should be quick and easy. If they did this I'm sure it would be much easier for people to switch.
