Hi Derek, As Mark pointed out, Obsidian isn't open source, and I'd add, it's free for non-commercial use but if you mix work projects and personal notes in one big collection (with separate branches/folders for different types of projects, etc), then you'll likely exceed their personal-use-only free license.
More importantly to me, Logseq being open source means I can run it locally on my machine even without Internet access, modifying it however I want to add features, run it locally on my home network, experiment with different use-cases that others may not care about. It really depends on your own needs and goals. And especially for me, I'm working on other software that deals with Structured Data and then pairs with Logseq to handle the Unstructure Data type content (aka "Free-form Markdown outlines" in Logseq, Obsidian, etc), so my needs are probably even weirder than most people's... :-) So... Logseq may or may not fit your needs, but especially since it's completely free and open source, seems like it's worth checking out before committing to any one product and spending time migrating previous notes and everything into whichever one you choose.
