Obsidian better than rolling your own folders?

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out if Obsidian is worth adding to my stack.

Been seeing it everywhere for a while now, everyone's using it as memory for Claude, which makes sense, it's just markdown folders. Thing is, I feel like I've already got my own version: one HQ folder of markdown files Claude reads at the start of every session, memory file, context file per project.

Curious what you guys are doing. Anyone running Obsidian over an already decent folder setup? Any value add I'm missing? Cheers
