My recent sojourn in the land of Logseq confirmed my preference, for now, for Obsidian. It was not without value though as the Logseq paradigm of prominently presenting backlinks and the local graph was always available in Obsidian but in my case rarely used. I have now incorporated those aspects into my Obsidian workflow and they are proving very useful in surfacing old content related to the task at hand. Thank you Logseq!

Sorry to hear that. I don't remember if I mentioned it but just in case: be aware that Obsidian is closed source proprietary software. If the company disappears or takes the project to a direction some users don't like there is nothing they can do.

Instead since is (and ) the community is free to improve it independently from the company and even if no one will care about it, if you need a feature or a bug fix and have no programming skill you can always pay someone to develop the code for you. This would be impossible with Obsidian.

@post Fair comment, but that is the beauty of owning my own markdown files. If ObsidianMD disappears or gets locked down behind a paywall I have completely conventional markdown content with which I can move on to another platform - including Logseq if I choose.

Logseq's markdown is rather 'opinionated' and would be less adaptable to moving to a new platform. I fear there would be a lot of redundnant bullets needing removal where prose is concerned.
