Joplin stores its files inside a database. Obsidian stores all notes as individual plaintext Markdown files.
In the first instance, that’s clearly more future-proof and robust - your notes are immediately available in any application without a layer of abstraction. You can’t have a single file corrupt and destroy all your notes.
