I'm interested in an adjacent question, because I do it myself:

Why don't more people use Git and Markdown for their todo lists and/or GTD systems?

The Git client is ideal for displaying lists and editing a little text file you git push could not be more simple.

After years of trialling a variety of notebook setups, I eventually fell back to vscode & git. I've even given up on Markdown (nothing wrong with it, I just realised I never actually view my own notes in parsed Markdown so I stopped bothering).

All I need is a file structure that I understand, and an editor for typing and searching :)

Git is great for (i) persistence, (ii) availability and (iii) the merge flow encourages me to review/clean changes before merging them to main.
