I recently wanted to find the best solution for world building, came upon an open source Russian app called starc.app that looked good, but found out you can replicate all the features essentially with Obsidian Syncthing, a good folder structure, some templates, and the following extensions:

Core system

Dataview
Templater

Worldbuilding UX

Juggl
Canvas or Excalidraw

Writing & story

Kanban
Outliner

Compendium visuals

Minimal Theme
Style Settings
Advanced Tables
Media Extended

UX polish

Sliding Panes
Hover Editor

Joplin works well with Nextcloud, WebDAV, and has good extensions, I find better for different types of note taking alongside Saber.

I used to install plugins for logseq. But now I run it raw and lean into how it wants to be used.

If something supports plugins isn’t it also how it wants to be used if you install them? Overall a weird reason to restrict yourself.

Fair point. I just wonder if the ethos of the developer is being overlooked. That being said. I don't really know what obsidian's ethos is. But it's worth thinking abiut. I remember getting into Logseq and it took me a while to come around, but now that I know how it wants me to think. Ive found its better than my old method. Perhaps allowing plugins is the ethos for obsidian.

When there is official plugin support, like there is for Obsidian, my take is that there isn’t enough resources to implement everything they would want to. Not sure about logseq.

But I get your point. Sometimes one’s own habits and preferences might stand in the way of exploring a different and possibly better approach.

Logseq has plug-in support too.

Ah yeah, that's what I was trying to get at, but you said it more eloquently. 👍
