I really have a love/hate relationship with #obsidian

On the plus side, it's unbelievably capable and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface. On a daily basis it nerd-snipes me into taking better notes and being more organized in my life, both professionally and personally. It's so fucking fun to explore around and see what else it can do

On the down side, sooooo many 3rd party plugins exist _primarily_ to make up for inscrutable UX design decisions

E.g., there are so many plugins that are essentially hacks around Obsidian's nonsensical tab behavior. Why would I want the same note open in 3 or 4 (or more!) tabs at once if I ALREADY HAVE IT OPEN? Just take me to the tab where it’s open!

Want to create a new note _in the folder_ currently open and selected in explorer view? Well...if you want to use a hotkey or command palette…wait for it…there's a plugin for that
