Por qué le encanta a los hackers

  • Incredible community plugin and theme ecosystem
  • Canvas and graph views for connecting complex ideas

Inconvenientes y consideraciones

  • Commercial license required for for-profit work
  • Sync service is paid (though Git or Syncthing can be used for free)
