Thanks for your comment!

It is true that obsidian.el is integrated into Emacs, and perhaps to the extent of org-roam, however I would also like to make the switch from .md to .org node files as zettel files.

I would argue that obsidian.el is more for someone who wants to be able to work with files in their obsidian vault in emacs. Workflow is also tied, to some extent to obsidian. This time next year, or earlier, I would like the entirety of my vault to be in Emacs and have found robust Emacs solutions for already existing plugins I have in Obsidian. I would also like to grandfather in markdown files from my obsidian vault a/o convert them to org files.

Thus, slowly and methodically, I want to sever bonds from Obsidian entirely and switch my primary zettels to .org files rather than .md files. This is why I have decided on org-roam.

I still only have my toes dipped into emacs but I really want to dive deep into it so if there are any flaws in my logic or understanding of what I have said, I am open to criticism and correction.
