Has logseq changed recently? When I tried it, I really disliked the very rigidly based list style / bullet point architecture for notes. It works great for todo lists, but for longform journalism and notetaking was deeply unsatisfying.

I don't think obsidian popularity is very strange. It's got a very clean look to it, the search is very fast, it's very easy to interlink all of your notes together, it's got a graph builder, and it's trivial to write plug-ins in JavaScript and extend its capability.

I do wish it was open source – that's the only drawback to it for me.

By the sound of it, you'll still dislike it. It uses the bullet outlining, so definitely won't be good for longform journalism. Organising notes and research around that journalism yes, but not for the output.

Guess differences in approach make the world richer :)
