Comments about Bear as an Alternative to Obsidian
ChrisWaygI have over 5,000 notes in Bear which were easy to export to Obsidian (except for creation date order). Bear is still easier to use for non-technical users and has a WYSIWYG editing experience, which is lacking in Obsidian. I am currently testing Obsidian, as it is cross platform, has more features and free sync options.
sCojQE5Bi-directional linking and tags might be the only thing that relate these two, but it's more relation that every other entry on this list.
Power UserA note taking application isn't the same as a knowledge management application, even if both allow you to take notes. Bear works great as an editor, but it's not an Obsidian alternative.
Most users think Bear is a great Obsidian alternative.

Org mode came first (open standard), then Roam (open standard), then Obisdian (propretiary app on the open standard). So anything built on Roam is a good Obsidian alternative.
