No tool can meet everyone’s needs. No matter what the tool is, as long as it has a user base, it proves its effectiveness—it’s just not suitable for you.

I was used many tools, include Workflowy and Roam. For me, org-mode & Emacs is the best tool of all, no tool can compare.

Yup, I can concur. Having tried numerous different note-taking, project-management, PIM solutions over the years - Evernote, Workflowy, Notion, Todoist, rememberthemilk, Trello, etc., I have finally ended up with Org-mode and later Org-Roam. Nothing else even comes close to the versatility, control and liberating and empowering experience.

Sure, learning Emacs and Org-mode is quite some journey. But it's absolutely worth the time and effort.

I even try different new things from time to time - out of curiosity, and because so many times before, I have felt like being stuck in a bubble. And so far, I have not found anything much better than Org-mode.
