I used Notion for more than 2 years and now using Obsidian for more than 1 years, so I guess, I understand both the apps and their usecases.
For writing, freewriting or article writing, I would never use Notion because it’s very slow but for managing projects and personal life, there is no app better than Notion.
For all kinds of writing where collaboaration is not required, I prefer to use Obsidian because it’s fast, all the data stays locally, and is distraction free. Whenever I feel like taking a quick note on my computer, Obsidian is just 1-2 clicks away to start writing but in Notion, I have to navigate to the correct page and then start writing, plus it’s slow as hell.
I am, now, using Obsidian for more than a year and have never been happier enough. And, if you ask, click the link here to see the main reasons why I love Obsidian.
I would prefer to use Obsidian for all my writing tasks but if I have to manage a big or small project, I would immediately move to Notion.
I think, if Notion enables the Offline feature, people will take the app even more seriously.
