I think from your video and this Stroll presentation 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfoGR4AYT5Y&t=964s>, I understood why 
TiddlyWiki most of the time isn’t mentioned besides Roam Research, Obisian, 
and Notion, even if it surpasses them in several ways: it is not aimed at 
the average user, but at those who are willing to take the time to make 
their own wiki unique (almost even at the level of a hacker).

PMario had a good idea <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4460> 
on how to make TiddlyWiki easier to use for complete beginners, but it 
wasn't merged mostly because "Generally, we're missing the opportunity to 
teach new users how to accomplish things, and instead we're giving them a 
small and inscrutable choice of customizations with a non-standard UI" (
reference 
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4460#issuecomment-586996695>)

In fact, I think usability should be made simpler instead of teaching 
everyone how to make TiddlyWiki omnipotent. If we want to make TiddlyWiki 
more "famous", we simply need to make it easier to use (as I said in my 
opinion about the pull request 
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/4460#issuecomment-587008785>), 
for example, with solutions like Saq is introducing nowdays, or David's 
Stroll or any other plugin of this group (I didn't want to personalize, I 
just gave examples, I respect everyone's work).

Hack availability should be just an option, not an expectation. for 
example, to add a ToC, you also need to read a tutorial, although logically 
it would be enough to just tick an option.

I think TiddlyWiki has only two drawbacks: one is cumbersome (though with 
an infinite number of options) personalization, and the other is 
saving. Customization would be greatly facilitated if there were a 
"community plugin repository" next to the official one in the control 
panel, but this was already mentioned in another thread, I just don't 
remember the end result.
