Maybe you could write a similar article, or point us to similar? I've tried using Zim wiki on a few occasions, and it just hasn't stuck for me. The plugins and offline nature really appeal to me.
I've pretty simple requirements. I would be using vimwiki if it displayed images. I'm also paranoid and don't want random companies controlling my data.
I'm more interested in functionality than pretty displays. I was like that when I found bullet journal.
I'm also in agreement with others here, I don't want to spend more time on the tool than I do on the job.
No one would read anything I wrote about my workflow!
