Obsidian can automatically ingest files and store them on disk while giving links to it. My personal vault contains many kinds of files living in the "Attachments" folder.

For me Markdown allows me to write and format text at the speed of thought. Added bonus is that it's readable with "less xyz.md" or anything which can render text.

Yep. Obsidian strikes a good compromise of automatically copying attachments into a relative subfolder for the note and then linking them in the MD file:

  lotr-recipes
  lotr-recipes/manflesh.md
  lotr-recipes/media/manflesh_1.png
  lotr-recipes/media/manflesh_2.png

Also makes it trivial to run a note through a static site generator and publish online.
