Hi @JamesT, no need to worry. As always, we like to delve into topics like this further, even though they might not directly align with our vision, as they can be very productive and bring up ideas for other improvements that we can implement ourselves.
We wouldn’t ever go down a route like Obsidian. As you said, some find it wonderful to customize their own PKM tool with plugins, custom sync, etc., but often it can take more time to set up a system than just taking notes. We’ve noticed how users of those tools often never settle down in the hope of finding the “holy grail” of note-taking – when actually just sticking to one that works for them and learning how to use it properly is the best method.
One of the things we are working on (and it’s taking a little longer than we anticipated) is more direction from us on how to make the best use of Supernotes with more articles on our blog and tutorials on our YouTube channel. This will help new users make the best use of the sharp and opinionated tool that Supernotes is 
Supernotes’ strength is that everything works out of the box – no plugins required. However, a route like Raycast, offering plugins for a specific feature subset, with a strict common UI toolkit, *could* be an interesting path. Such as sidebar widgets or command panel prompts. This offers developers of other tools ways of aligning different systems. You’ve mentioned before you use TickTick, and it could be interesting to see what the TickTick team could come up with. For example, you could select a notecard, type CmdK, select “Integrated Actions > Add linked task in TickTick”. Just some food for thought
