After reading the README, the only missing thing seems to be the equivalent of Dataview from Obsidian. Will wait for something like it before considering switching.
I tried switching to this a few years ago, but switched back to Obsidian. My problem was actually the strongest feature: the VS Code integration. Only about a third of my note taking is related to software development, so for me going into VS Code the other 2/3rd of the time was clunky. If 100% (or close to it) of your note taking is software related, this is a great product.

I used both from, essentially, day 1 and had a similar experience. Obsidian is just fantastic and I vastly prefer keeping it separate from my coding, even for coding-related notes.
Though, once in a while I'll open the notes in VS Code just to make use of things like better find/replace, regex etc... - especially globally.
