A this point, though, I'm sort of stuck with these two. Wish I could find a way to make a reading experience as pleasant as Obsidian, and the writing experience that's as engaging as Logseq. I just never got used to the workflow of jumping through links and reading blocks that look hastily patched up together. The problem is I hardly ever got back to re-reading my notes. The app got me to dump my brain very quickly writing notes actually became quite addicting. I tried out Logseq later on, and the experience was the complete opposite. It's just not that different from writing notes in your go-to text editor, and if VSCode couldn't make me write more notes, then neither would Obsidian. But then I realized that it didn't really get me to write more notes, and it now acts more like a catalogue for things that I found online. Among all of the apps I tried, it probably has the best reading experience, especially for long-form writings.

The text editor-like, but not quite a text editor experience seemed like the sweet spot for me. I ended up with a setup of alternating between Obsidian and Logseq, just like the OP at one point. Like (almost) everyone here, I've gone through a lot of note-taking apps in the market.
