Some people claim that they have complementary strengths, and use them together: two different interfaces for editing the same set of *.md files. Eg, this quote: "<b>Joplin</b> is great because I can add notes on any device, online and offline. It is much more convenient than paper or any other medium. <b>Obsidian</b> works great as a Zettelkasten, with its links, tags and Graph views. I
think more people should consider using them together as opposed to
making <b>Joplin</b> into <b>Obsidian</b>."<br></div><div><br></div><div>Obsidian is not open source, a deal breaker for some of us.
