Well, on desktop I’m actually quite happy with that setup. I like writing with my default editor, because I know all the keyboard shortcuts. And apparently, you can configure Joplin to use an external editor, but then I don’t know what it adds. I also really don’t want to be running an Electron app at all times.
On mobile, I might have more of a use for it. In particular, I need reminders there. But I’m not happy with the sync format that it uses. It adds a lot of metadata and additional files, and names the note files with UUIDs. I’m guessing, it will likely also not be able to load files that I’ve created on my desktop by hand, because those will be missing all the metadata.
So yeah, if I get desperate, this might be another choice in the future, but not for now.

have you tried Joplin?
