I also like using fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) and telescope (https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) with neovim. I tried setting up tags a long time ago but faintly recall the process being cumbersome.

You can easily do it and much more in neovim with telescope https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim

I actually stopped using Obsidian a few months ago. I feel like these knowledge collection/note taking applications over complicate everything. I wasn't happy with the search feature in Obsidian specifically and the fact that it forces you to add their own application specific characters/flavor to your markdown. [0] I thought about it and my minimum requirements for a knowledge graph tool are: 1. Edit files in vanilla Markdown (no application specific cruft) 2. Be able to search content easily (ideally via grep) 3. Add 1:1 or 1:many links between files (direct links vs. tags, ideally using requirement 2 to implement this) And the simplest solution for me was: 1. A single level directory of md files (no folders!) 2. Vim + Telescope [1] 3. A small set of guidelines [2] to define searchable patterns for linking files/nodes I also wrote a lit

Nvim has some plugins and features that do some of the things you might be interested in. Telescope[0][1] which is a fuzzy finder for anything you can think of (files, symbols, color themes, etc.[2]). The LSP and Treesitter stuff in nvim 0.5+ is also pretty cool. If you want to just try it without much work the Lunarvim[3] project comes with sane defaults and included plugins (including Telescope). Lua as the default configuration language makes things simple to configure as well. Having said all that...if someone told me [insert-text-editor] had everything I would want I would probably check it out and go home to vim (but I do enjoy learning about new stuff and features).

There's a few really cool things. The built in LSP is pretty clean compared to clunky nodejs or python plugins which I've found to clog down on huge codebases. The syntax engine has been improved by a tree-sitter algo, so it's way more robust with the syntax hilighting. And while I haven't messed with this yet you can do the whole config file in Lua now, which sounds pretty powerful. The improved tree-sitter code parsing also allows for stuff like this which you won't find fully implementable in mainline Vim yet: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim

For me it does so much more out of the box than fzf does. It takes advantage of the lsp to search your project in unique ways. Simply calling :Telescope will bring up a fuzzy list of all the built in commands making it far more discoverable than fzf was.

Yeah, I contributed to Denite and have talked to shougo about Denite as an inspiration for telescope. It's a great project. I just added a note (which is the least I can do for the projects) here: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/commit/d466...
