After trying several editors, Notion is my favorite one.
What do you like best about the product?
1. Simple: The interface is simple without too many fancy features that will make writing experience awful. Notion is really easy to use if a freshman starts with the basic functions. 2. Powerful: Lots of useful functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. I would be better to generate a catalog for an aritcle so we can quicly locate a content. 2. It would be better to have more font styles. 3. It would be better to have a local backup for our data then we can read our articles even without connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a text editor that has lots of useful functions and beautiful interface. Notion is that one. TBH, what notion attracts most is its beautiful design. Moreover, it is easy for us to build a webpage when sharing our notes or articles with others.

Some of the table or DB options are limited and you can spend some time trying to figure out formatting only to discover its unavailable and not as versatile as other tools.

The iOS app for Notion could use some support for native automations like shortcuts. I also find using Notion on iOS to be a bit wonky on my iPad when using the second screen.

Longtime Obsidian user switching to Notion
What do you like best about the product?
I used to be an avid user of Obsidian, a somewhat similar note-taking/knowledge management program but recently switched most of my activity to Notion because of a few things that make it much easier to use. The biggest reason I prefer notion is because of the built-in support for databases and calendars. Obsidian has this functionality, but it is only through the use of community-built plugins, and they don't always play nicely together. Notion's built-in database and calendar functions are much more versatile and easier to use. The other reason I prefer Notion as of late is how easy it is to share notes and pages with colleagues.
As far as the Notion AI thing goes, I've been using it to create study guides and outline reports. I like how it is able to draw from notes and files in your database/notes, but I find that it does not always provide accurate information or 'understand' the material (which is simply the nature of AI text generation, to be fair). I wish it would generate longer responses, or at least let the user specify how long they would like their response to be. While it is extremely simple to use, I wish that there were more parameters when imputing prompts.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I miss about Obsidian is now customizable it is as compared to Notion. Obsidian vaults are built by the user from the ground up and allow for a much more diverse set of functions. Another thing I prefer about Obsidian is that it is more individual-focused, while Notion is more team-focused. This is just a personal preference based on how I use the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a student, and I primarily use Notion to take notes in my classes, draft papers and projects, and collect resources. I started using the AI assistant feature to help me write study guides and outline projects.
Incredible All-In-One Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love notion because it has capabilities for every aspect of life. Work, personal life, home life, moving. Plus it's new AI feature has made it incredible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes overwhelming because there are so many tool options with notion!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AI writing assistant has made it so much easier to complete work and not feel daunted by "starting the project". It's fast, creative, and reliable.
My uni life saver.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI's user friendliness, which makes taking notes easy and quick, I have everything I need to input information for class, revise and write up assignments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe it would be great if it were easier to access the different font texts, colors of text and the undo and redo button. If it were onscreen as you are typing it would make tasks easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I need to fix up text, like paraphrasing, shortening, lengthening, changing tone, improving my essays or just turning ideas into writing, Notion's AI capabilities have been a life saver and as a uni student it's the best note taker in my opinion as all I need to do is log onto the website and head straight to my note. It's very quick and easy to navigate so my class management, tasks and uni content has been positively impacted.
