Other great note takers and points for improvement for Joplin

Yeah, I think I've already mentioned it here on the forum: one thing I'd really like in Joplin would be to have a scrolling view of the contents of notes when selecting a folder. Something like the one above: so that if I have dozens of short notes in a folder, I'd be able to see all of them at a glance.

There are a few things I missed from Evernote when I started using Joplin. Two concerned being able to compare the information from multiple notes. The first was the lack of detachables notes, but that could be worked around by using external editors. The second concerned the lack of Evernote's view options for the note list, specifically the snippet view which might be similar to what you're looking for:

That's the sort of enhancement provided by plugins in Joplinland. @mablin7's Kanban Board Project springs immediately to mind as an example.

I do not think that Markdown is the ultimate solution for note-taking. It works for some people, and it does not work for some others. To me the lack of proper tabbing or indent is a weakness in a note editor, and that is a matter of personal taste, not saying everyone should adhere to this method of note taking.

I agree it's a matter of individual preference, and Markdown wasn't really created with indented outlines in mind. @laurent's use of tab indenting makes perfect sense if you're editing notes as text, but that information gets lost in the rendering. For my purposes adding [TOC] and different levels of headings is sufficient as it allows me to navigate when I'm using a rendered note for reference.
