I’ve been using Logseq markdown version for ~5 years. I’m probably in the minority here by not expecting any updates to markdown version and being okay with it. Logseq is a shining example of a “done” software. I don’t need any more bells and whistles than what it currently already has. I don’t depend on any network-related services/plugins for me to worry about security issues.
The team’s intention to split DB and OG versions is IMO a particularly sane decision. Rather than trying to shoehorn DB features into OG version, which would’ve been a nightmare, they’ve decided to keep these two things apart. You could argue that a software which goes into maintenance mode is signaling that it is no longer reliable, but you have to also consider that it is a note-taking software. There really shouldn’t be a need to keep adding “features” to it, just for the sake of it.
I’ve tried to switch to Obsidian multiple times in the past but I’ve always come back to Logseq in the end. There really is no other software which does Outlining so well. The fact that in the end I’m just writing markdown files, allowed me to build a native android app which solves my major headaches with the mobile app. I don’t need anything more.
There is a possibility of Logseq OG no longer running on major OS upgrades in future, but I trust that we’ll find a community solution for it. Until then, I still find joy writing into my daily journals and using the software and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
