Dropping things in daily notes is my main use of obsidian too. I spent a lot of time exploring community plugins, organising my setup etc, everything but actually writing notes. When I reduced to the absolute basics, I just managed to write and retrieve notes consistently. In the end I need just: rendering, throwing in images easily, daily notes, and text search. The point is to minimise the effort/time to actually write a note. If I have to think about how to categorise my notes, what tags to put etc, I just end up not writing notes.
Moreover, with a basic setup, for the most part obsidian can be replaced by almost any text/markdown editor, so no lock in, nor security risks from using community plugins.
Apart from notetaking I also use obsidian to create slide presentations, which is probably one of the laziest ways to make presentations that look good enough.
