1. Notions "Databases" are easier to use, edit, and manage than any similar setup I could figure out locally. And they have inbuilt integrations so you can sync things like Github/Gitlab/Jira, etc directly into your docs. I highly recommend setting up a personal project inside Notion to try it out.
2. Less important but still useful, the collaboration is good to use with my partner. We can have shared household notes/saved info/tasks/etc all in one place very easily using it.
