The reaction when this app was first released was that this was so complicated. But I have been trying to mitigate it all the best... I would appreciate it if you can give me a feedback after trying it out.

I have 10k+ cards, and 100k+ reviews, and I've used Anki for years. It's a professional tool, and while I hate basically every part of it, it's reliable, and doesn't do unexpected things. I'm not willing to bet on a tool, that's pushing an unskippable bunny in a suit to my face that's animating with 10FPS.

You're clearly onto something: Roam and new PKM tools are more popular than ever, Remnote is even hiring people. You just need to figure out how to present your workflow ideas.

I see. I am sorry that you are not willing to try new tool while you hate the old thing.
I try lot's of new tools: Remnote, Mochi cards, different srs plugins for Roam and Obsidian.

I tried to check out LearnObit as well, but a rabbit, seriously?

Is that the fault of the app? The rabbit does nothing wrong. However, I am confident in the usability and functionality of LearnObit. Perhaps the most similar to LO is RemNote, but more than that, more than any other app.

Look, you're free to put whatever in your app. If that's a one minute long 10fps animation of a rabbit in a suit, with a Coelho quote, all the more power to you, but I need you to understand, that makes it hard to take it seriously.

I understand that the rabbit looks like that way to some people. It is a way to grab attention in the internet world where being ignored is the default... But confidence in the functionality and innovation of this app is still.
