Yes it's often a problem. I am a Joplin user. Many times I have thought "X would be so much easier if these were just Markdown files on disk." Joplin has an API you can use, but it's annoying. Files on disk would be better.

I like the Joplin UI and features. I also have use-cases where I want plain text access outside Joplin. Obsidian shows its possible to have both (but I also want software libre).
