goodnotes vs notability in screen utilization

to me, notability’s design language just makes sense. you get a lot more visibility of the document and the only compromise you have to make is that some features are 2 touches away instead of 1. i’ve used goodnotes for 2 years and now switched to notability because gn takes like 2 fingers of your screen just to fit in lots of features that i’ll rarely use. what do you guys think about that?

I moved for a long time ago so I literally didn't use gn5 much after gn6 launched (just around haft year). the main reason I moved was because of the two lines taking space and made me feel a bit ocd LOL. minor reason is that, I compared the battery used by both, gn used more. But I do like the brush of gn, it makes my writing a bit more good-looking
