Is Obsidian really that much better vs Bear? Should I switch?

I'm a compulsive note-taker - first started taking notes in @Evernote circa 2011, and switched to @Bear

Personal knowledge management tool.

Really excellent tool, especially for long-form note-taking. The user interface has an overall elegance that makes this tool stand-out. It would be five stars if the developers truly respected user freedom by making Obsidian open source software.
