The Reasons I'll Never Switch from Obsidian to Tana

Tana and Obsidian are both awesome. But not for everyone. Here's why I'll keep using Obsidian.

In this episode of DeveloPassion's Podcast, I shared my perspective on why I choose Obsidian over Tana for knowledge management, focusing on data ownership, vendor lock-in concerns, extensibility needs, and long-term thinking about tool selection.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why data ownership trumps convenience in knowledge management tools

  • The hidden costs of vendor lock-in with proprietary platforms

  • How extensibility and customization impact long-term leverage

  • Why performance matters when writing

  • How to evaluate tools for decades, not months
