I wish Dendron would use a more conventional way for hierarchy. I don't like its choice of dots for that.
the reason we went with it is because: - it allows a file to be both a note and a parent of notes - it makes hierarchy an explicit part of note creation - it greatly simplified operations like refactoring (regex over filename, no need to create scaffolding with empty folders or removing folders if they no longer had children) - it makes it easy to work with using cli tools
