It is something completely different, I used Obsidian for things more writing related, something like philosophy or psychology, those are the areas I touched there, bit more visual things like anatomy, biology of things of the like, things with a strong visual component that you have not yet synthesized or with a very clear hierarchy are much easier for me in margin note, great for doing your initial research, I believe that there is an integration with Obsidian, it didn't work great in the iPad a few years ago, maybe it had changed.
Now Obsidian has the mind map thing in which you can put other more in, but mind map is that turned around, you or bits and pieces somewhere else. The program doesn't make you are connections, you represent the connections you have seen in the program, it is much closer to you doing research on your desk rather than the "rigidity" I feel in markdown. There were some classes in which I didn't use it as all though. It is another tool it will not replace Obsidian because it doesn't aim to do what Obsidian does and vice versa.
