How is this different to Obsidian which has a nice UI, supports importing Apple Notes and iCloud Sync works and is free.

I was about to say "Obsidian is free as long as you don't use it for work."

But it turns out that that is no longer the case. https://obsidian.md/blog/free-for-work/

Obsidian is now actually free for everyone.

The big benefit is that you get to use the Apple Notes app. I prefer Apple Notes on my phone, to be honest. I haven't used Obsidian's app on iOS in over a year.

I personally put all my work-related dev notes in Obsidian, and all my life-related quick notes in Apple Notes.

Exactly that, I completely agree. I don't want to stop using apple notes, I just want to be able to use vim as well.
This is exactly where I'm at, actually. Nvim on Mac OS or Linux and Notes on iPhone would be my dream combination.
Obsidian still does not support iOS widgets. I use the app, but it's honestly still a major annoyance, since I cannot add to-dos with one swipe as I would be able to do with Apple Notes.
Widgets are in the current insider build, so they should be available to everyone soon.
