You're not charging enough, you need to weed out the poor losers. Sad (and maybe rude) but true. The more you charge, your customer base will shrink, but the quality of customers will increase exponentially.

counterpartyrsk··on The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Emacs
If you don't spend much time in the terminal, and don't need to be proficient at navigating and jumping back and forth between files and buffers, then yeah, stick with PowerPoint.

I think one benefit to Emacs is having one app to do it all.

One could argue that Obsidian is just a file manager and markdown editor, VS Code gives you the same functionality, right? Three of the apps you mentioned have significant overlap in functionality. Three configs to manage, back up, etc...

Why context switch between apps and various conventions, when you could do all or most of your work, very well/quickly in one app?

I'm not trying to convince you Emacs is right for you. Just offering one perspective/benefit.

That said, I do love how I can paste an image from my clipboard straight into an Obsidian file. I've configured org-mode in Emacs to do the same (maybe a decade ago) but the experience wasn't as seamless. VS Code is pretty amazing in it's own right as well.
