> I feel like most of those note taking app creators dont even use their own product

I think you have it backwards. They likely made the product to fit their own needs, and aren't going out of their way to understand and solve other user's needs.

Do you really think so? A lot of those github projects seem rather big.

People sometimes make big things for their own use, while imagining them to be for other people's use, where other people are similar to themselves.

That can sum up Unix and everything that sprang from it, come to think of it.

Perhaps people use it despite its flaws, because it's the biggest and/or there's no other open-source option.
