It definitely can. Unfortunately, I was the only emacs user on my team at work, so switching from org-mode to something that used plain markdown files was beneficial. There's a network effect here -- sharing notes is valuable.
Also, since Obsidian (and Logseq, which is what I use now) both use save plain markdown files, you can still edit your notes in emacs.
For sure, emacs is still my favorite operating system. :)
(Neo)Vim guy here. That's something that I love and hate about emacs. It's powerful and extensible to the point of being intimidating (being basically a lisp interpreter that can write lisp is crazy, in a good way). If I didn't do work on remote machines, I'd probably give it another go, as I enjoyed it the when I used it before. Just not enough time these days, with all of the other stuff that I want to do.
I personally only use emacs for it's org-mode. However, the few times I needed to remote edit files TrampMode has been on point.
Just letting you all know this exists.
That's pretty awesome.
