> Only necessary features, restrictions foster creativity

Interesting. Productivity tools should not force me getting creative to do the simplest things. Ideally, I can make it adapt to my workflow, not the other way around.

That's why Obsidian is as popular as it is. It starts with a foundation of features that are necessary, and then lets you add/create extensions to expand it as your creativity desires.

That line above is just an attempt to convince the user that the lack of features/extensibility is a positive thing.
