Do you know cherryTree and if yes, how it compares to the two?

I have not heard of cherrytree before, I'll check it out.

CherryTree is way clunkier, IMO, and has too many irrelevant options that get in the way, particularly around formatting. Obsidian is just markdown, so you don't have the option of spending 15 minutes trying to figure out why code blocks are showing up as dark text on light background even though you're in dark mode, which was my last experience in CherryTree. Looking and cross referencing documents is also super easy; I'm not sure if CherryTree even does that.
