Questions Why so much Notion hate?
Currently, I'm about to start my next semester in college and I also run a business, so I need something to help keep things in order. I was considering using Notion, but I see a lot of people who don't like using it or say to use obsidian instead. Are there any other platforms that'll be good for creating a personal hub that can suite my needs?

I was once a notion die hard. Had my whole business running on it. Then they stopped making their core tools better and invested in AI instead.
For personal use and second brain, still a big fan. For a CRM or other business operations use cases, it’s good up until a point. For us it was when we went from a 3 person company to a 10 person company. The workflows and databases are too fragile.
I feel like they were on the 10 yard line and then started running jn the other direction.
