    Quill made me actually enjoy taking notes again. Fast, beautiful, no bloat. Best purchase this year.

    Quill is fine but overhyped. The search is good, the sync is bad, the price is worse.

    Two years on Quill. Still the fastest, still local-first, still love it. The plugin ecosystem grew a lot.

    Wish Quill were open source. Great app but I don't trust a closed notes app with my second brain.

    Honestly Quill is just okay. Does the job but nothing groundbreaking. The docs are thin.

    We rolled Quill out to the whole team. Setup was painful and the docs are missing half the features.

    Love that Quill is local-first and doesn't phone home. No telemetry, no account required to start.

    Quill crashed three times today on a large vault. Performance falls apart past 10k notes.

    Quill pricing is too high
    $12/mo is ridiculous when Obsidian is free. The app is nice but not that nice.

    Quill's keyboard shortcuts are fantastic. Feels like it was built by people who actually take notes.

    Quill vs Obsidian?
    Switched from Obsidian to Quill last week. The UI is so much cleaner and it's way less bloated.
