Obsidian is where I landed after trying several.
Just tried it for a bit. Looks pretty sleek and has some nice features, but it seems like it's not open-source, which is something I'd like to avoid.
Then Logseq. It's an outliner (each line can be it's own...thing...), but it's open source and a direct competitor of Obsidian. In fact, I was ambivalent between the two when I first started with online note-taking.
Does it store files in plain text?
I think, like Obsidian, it stores them as markdown files.

That looks very interesting, mostly because it's so different. I'll have to take a closer look later.
I am not trying to defend Obsidian here in regards to its closed source but in the least the notes are not obscured in some database and use markdown format. So once they go away from that, I am out and still have all my notes accessible.
