I am trying it out given all the praise.

I can't create more than 5 (!) tags in the free version
it can't export notes in anything else than borked text files in the free version (formatting lost, no markdown, no pdf, no html)
it doesn't let me choose where I store my notebooks, in fact does not tell me where it saves them at all
backup files are not human-readable, they don't appear to be zip files in disguise, they are seemingly locked to notesnook (".nnbackupz")
the importer/converter is on the web, and requires me to upload all my plain text MD files for conversion

I use QOwnNotes on the daily, which does not have any such limitations. On the other hand, it's a markdown editor, which means your monitor space is divided by two : it has separate editing & preview panes. It's honestly a bummer because apart from that it's pretty much perfect
