> Will our preferred notes system last the sands of time?

Yes... My note system will last.

No, I do not trust apps to last. Therefore I use a simple file system hierarchy to categorize everything. Then I use the best avaliable browser and editor.

My setup is Markor on mobile for browse and edit. Syncthing-fork to get it all into my big system where I run customized Neovim and can make scripts to interact with the data as well as syncing any generated output to the phone.

Having been a Obsedian fan, with similar plug-in fascination, I also experienced the negatives the article mention, and I finally settled with a simple file hierarchy and resorting to as few and basic tools as possible. Obsidian is great, but I didn't need all the features. I need a way to categorize, to quickly find, to edit, and to easily sync and my current setup satisfies that and I'm productive with it. (of course it does not reflect Obsidian's second brain feature, but personally I found that concept to require more work than reward and it wasn't intuitive for me to get accustomed to, but I guess the second brain thing is more like a lifestyle).
