Hey kepano, really love the work you're doing!

Here are some feature I wish existed in Obsidian without any plugins:

* Dataview [1] (this is now solved with Bases, so I really appreciate that)

* Folder Note [2] (I, and I assume many others come from Notion, and I wish this were a thing)

* Recent files [3]

* A built in calendar [4]

* Link embeds [5] (or something to store previews for pasted links)

* Waypoint [6], or something to create a table of contents

These are just things I wish existed, but whether or not these are 'basic' can be debated. Ultimately I do wish there were a robust permission system for plugins so that personal functionality gaps can be plugged, but without compromising safety.
