I really love Obsidian. It is a perfect fit for my needs. I just hope they don't do the creeping subscription bullshit like Evernote did. The $96 a year is reasonable for those who need it (I don't need it).
Crossing my fingers that the usual greed doesn't give them brain rot. I probably should have gone with Joplin, but I'm too invested in Obsidian at this point (and very happy with it). I guess if they do go over to the Dark Side, I could freeze it at the last good release for a while then switch.
I just save my notes to a network location (could be icloud, dropbox, gdrive etc.) which is a much cheaper (free) way to sync notes -- love Obsidian
You're probably fine for a while. My bet is that obsidian's really happy with all the free advertising evernote's been giving it

Even better, Obsidian notes are stored directly in folders on your device as plain text (markdown) files.
It's all there, nothing missing, and no annoying proprietary format.
Not only can you keep using them without the Obsidian application, you can even do so using a "dumb" text editor - though something that can handle markdown will give you a better experience.
