Very true. I have been helping others with the philosophy of managing, linking, and thinking in their own ways instead of always hoping that a tool being the solution. Once you are clear with the general idea of how things are, any appropriate tool should be enough or good enough that you are not lost when the tool is taken away.

For instance, I have been sent many a Mindmaps for the sake of the name exported from tools but just branches of terms which would have been better off as a list.

Recently, I have been teaching my daughter the idea and the art of taking notes. She is allowed to use any tools she like to try out. I have so far told her about Obsidian, VSCode, and Sublime Text. Of course, Apple Notes is there too.
