The 1.0 label matters because it signals stability, not just features. I read it as a commitment to long-term workflows.

Obsidian released version 1.0, highlighting stability and a mature feature set (source). The release positioned the app as a long-term knowledge home.

single-line take

Knowledge tools win by staying boring and reliable.

my take

I think 1.0 is a promise: you can invest years without replatforming. That promise is rare in this category, which is why it matters.
