I just migrated everything out of Notion into Ibsidian. Notion was unusable after more than a few hundred items in a DB. I migrated to using dataview and lists in Obsidian and haven't had a problem since. And it works offline.

I use it for my workout logbook and cooking/recipe log with hundreds of entries.

Agreed. Not useful for large dataset. The magic is in connecting databases - relating project management to notes etc. I've resorted to duplicating each database and archiving anything that is worth keeping. That way databases I use operationally retain speed.

I find DataView to be clunky as well. Data entry is not easy (I'm currently using "DB Folder" and it helps but it's quirky) and each-row-is-a-file does not give great performance.
