One of my highest priorities for a personal knowledgebase is that my system can continue to be essentially unchanged for the rest of my life (hopefully another 50+ years), just as my current archive of notes goes back 20 years.
The Lindy Effect[0] would say that plain text files have already existed for more than 50 years, therefore are likely to still exist another 50 years from now.
That being said the Obsidian team are making progress towards adding WYSIWYG, so you will soon be able to edit visually while keeping the files stored in a readable plain text format.
