    Logseq is becoming the best with version 0.10.10 and remains open-sourced.

    Logseq is easier than Obsidian for taking notes now and organizing as you go. Logseq's journal-first, folder-free outliner format is something Obsidian doesn't offer out of the box. Also, Logseq is open source, Obsidian is not.
