I'm sill trying to use Obsidian, but I think I'm missing a lot of hotkeys or default behaviors. Maybe it's that I have nested folders, but in evernote it's a lot easier to find a note because my sidebar is a list of shortcuts, a list of recent edited notes, then if i go far enough below that i get a two column of folders and clicking into the folder I get the notes.

In Obsidian, I just get a list of folders and if expanded all notes in there, and that is having trouble scaling at 100 notes, when I don't even want to think about what the 2-3000 notes I have in Evernote would look like.

I tried to use folders when I started using Obsidian, but I found it consumed too much mental overhead trying to categorise every note. Personally I find that MoC-style arrangements work better for me, with no folders at all. Whenever I make a note, I try to link to it from relevant existing notes. For instance I already have separate notes about inflation and exchange rates. If I make a new note about the passthrough from changes in exchange rates to inflation, I would create a link to the new note under each of the two other notes. This way I make sure notes don't get lost, and that I know where to easily relevant notes when I need them. The search feature is also pretty good.
