Joplin worked great when I spent 8h+ daily on my laptop (computer with big screen and physical keyboard).
During my long sabbatical, I wanted to take notes on my phone, a LOT. Joplin sucks at that, clumsy, non-user friendly android client.
Tried obsidian (first on mobile) and it is superb. I had to install a couple extensons (S3 sync, "Ink" for drawing with a pen), and it just works. It's so good, I sometimes even edit tables on my phone. With Joplin, note taking on my phone was just dumping thoughts in random formats to it and later fixing it on my desktop.
Like Joplin, Obsidian also has a Firefox extension to capture a web page I to markdown.
So after a couple days of trial, I realized that all the features Joplin has, obsidian has it too, with a much better (and snappier) UX on both my Linux desktop and Android. The only thing I wish for of it was Open Source. But oh well, I'm not dogmatic about that anymore
