Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

OneNote. Don't love being super reliant on all the Microsoft Office cloud stuff but there really isn't anything that comes close to what I use it for

What do you use it for? If you don't mind me asking. I tried a few times to like it before I started my selfhost/open source journey earlier this year and couldn't click with it. But curious what it does that you haven't found an alternative for.

I use it for a mix of text, handwriting/drawing, PDF annotation and image annotation, and I also pretty heavily rely on realtime sync between my devices. If none of that is stuff you use then I can see why you might want something simpler

Yeah, handwriting can be added to Obsidian, but it's a bit hacky and I don't use it. As far as instant sync, it is solid, but expensive. Some folks use Syncthing but I couldn't get it to work reliably so I but the bullet and paid for Obsidian Sync.
