    Devonthink does a superb job of making many types of content searchable, and supports very flexible means of categorisation.

    In particular, it doesn't lock you into "its" way of doing things.

    Devonthink is for storing large numbers of different kinds of files, categorizing them, retrieving them, and finding connections between them. Obsidian does some of this, but in a much more limited way, and mostly only for text files.

    Devon Think is also a file organizer, RSS feeder, and all purpose content documentation software with tagging. Devon Note is a lot more closer to Evernote in functionality.
