@fuzzygel posted a new topic, subject "Anyone using Zettlr markdown editor?". It read:

   I stumpled into this Zettlr markdown editor. At a glance this looks quite good
    
      * open source
      * support YAML front matter
      * Backlinks
      * connects to Zetero
      * support BibTex citation
      * tagging
      * exports to 35 file formats,
      * plus many more features
    
    
    
    and seems to be free. I think it may be a good compliment to editing for Obsidian
    
    Interestingly I have not heard any mention on this forum. Just curious to see any user here

Then @karlnyhus (Karl Nyhus) said

    FYI, Zettlr was remarkably transparent in regard to a security hole in its Electron Framework back in May of 2021 Postmortem: Zettlr's first Security Incident | Zettlr

After which, @ThatNerd added

    Great app, it didn't really fit in my workflow last time I checked but it's definitely one of the best desktop markdown editors out there. Might revisit it soon.

    wow, I did not know this but seems , as you said, very transparent about this issue and hopefully they learned from this

Then @lkhrs (Luke) said

    I gave Zettlr a shot in May, but ultimately decided to use Obsidian instead. I don't need the Zotero integration and citation features.
    
    Some issues I ran into at the time:
    
      * No automatic link updating when notes are moved (I use a folder structure)
      * No backlink suggestions
      * Editor jumps around while doing things like checking boxes
      * Zettlekasten filenames (not sure if you can change this)
    
    
    
    The first and last issues are fine if you use a Zettlekasten setup, though I think you'd want backlink suggestions even more than you would with a folder structure.
