I've used Obsidian for years without a single 3rd party plugin.

It is possible to make your same point without histrionic excess.

Yeah, this is always the response. Usability can be assessed objectively, so you just have low standards.

    I have to agree that I don't find plugins necessary, and I'm not sure why you're so down on people using a solid backlinking note taker. I don't think I have low standards, I think Roam and Logseq aren't that great and Obsidian is all I need.

    A more charitable interpretation would be that that have different needs. My keyboard costs more than my computer, but most people probably spend $15-$50 on a keyboard. Even my mouse is well outside that range. Do I have high standards or do I have tendonitis?

      Software usability, in this context, is measured objectively, there is no interpretation. This is separate from a specific user's preferences, the ergonomics of their hardware, etc.. As for your high standards vs tendonitis distinction, I'd say these things are not mutually exclusive, and the comparison is not related to what we're talking about.
