    Very similar format. Obsidian will be better for most people as it has many plugins.

    CherryTree is faster and open-source.

    I don't see a way to import webpages in Obisidian like I do with CherryTree if you save a webpage as CompleteHtml. I'm still new with it all, but I somehow find CherryTree easier to use and more organized.

    CherryTree feels like an ancient WIP beta of Obsidian. I used to be a CT guy for 2 yrs but as of late 2020 I'm an Obsidian convert. It does everything that CT can but with panache and speed. And of course it does a lot more.

    Zim brings the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Store information, link pages and edit with WYSISYG markup or directly typing some lightweight markup syntax and see it previewed as-you-type. Creating a new page is easy by either clicking on the "Create new note"...

    I chose Cherytree as an alternative to ZIM. And since I'm now looking for an alternative to Cherrytree, ZIM cannot be the answer. Both have significant shortcomings, especially ZIM.

    Similar.

    I prefer Zim because it is clean, can portable, and saves to .txt.

    Cherrytree is OS independent, runs faster and has better view for tree as OneNote.

    OneNote hasn't a good search mechanism. When you search for a term the just show the notes where we can find, not the places on the notes, it highlight but don't offers a way to do that easely. Differently from cherrytree.

    Has a good and fast search, code syntax highlighting. The software is pretty fast, like Cherry Tree and has a lot of format features, tags, hierarchical folders. You can change all the panels in dashboard, fully customizable. There is a dark mode.
