I have been considering https://bewcloud.com/ + Immich as an alternative
Nextcloud's client support is very good though and it has some great apps, I use PhoneTrack on road trips a lot

If every aspect of Nextcloud was as clean, quick and light-weight as PhoneTrack this world would be a different place. The interface is a little confusing but once I got the hang of it it's been awesome and there's just nothing like it. I use an old phone in my murse with PhoneTrack on it and that way if I leave it on the bus (again) I actually have a chance of finding it.
No $35/month subscription, and I'm not sharing my location data with some data aggregator (aside from Android of course).
It does not support Nextcloud apps (and I don't ever plan to). If you're looking for extensibility, it's not a great option for you (I've been feeling some "pressure" to add a plugin system, but I'm very concerned it'll compromise bewCloud's main value drivers — it's speed, low resource use, simplicity, and ease of use).
But now I think the right train of thought is there should be an webdav-based notes app that just looks in a notes folder for a combination of folders and text files, which it displays in a Nextcloud Notes-app kind of way. But that could be done and benefit people without it having to be your job to do it.
I wish there was a better client-side view/share app. I've been meaning to try Dawarich, I've heard it does this better.
