Love the zettlekasten method! I gave dendron a shot a few months back, but it just didn't stick. Something about using my IDE as a note-taking tool got in the way of my flow. Currently using NotePlan 3 and really liking it.
Something we recommend for folks is to have different flavors of VSCode to side step this (eg. vscodium for dendron, vscode for code). That being said, if you found something you like, that's the most important thing :)
