Does anyone actually like Notion? My current job uses it for all our documentation and I hate it. The organization is a mess, the search isn't great, and the UI sucks.

It's like a massive step backwards from tools like Confluence. I've had to use it for over three years and I still hate it.

I was so confused by your rant... Until I reread and noticed, you are not ranting about Norton.

Never tried it, but seen people using it and sometimes wondered "am I missing out?" - glad to hear I'm not.

I see you mention Confluence as a better option. Didn't expect that, thought it was looked down on. My org used it around 2015-2017 and I have memories of formatting getting in the way - like code having incorrect quote-chars. (Felt like it didn't use proper markdown..but maybe it was just my org who used it incorrectly)

We moved to Github wikis/readmes for code docs, and GoogleDrive suite for non technical stuff.

Now most Github wikis with code docs are nice and tidy markdown.

But I do miss the days when ALL the tech and semi-tech documentation was in one place in Confluence.

The shift lead to a strict separation of devs (with github accounts) and non-devs (like analytics people) and now analytics people write code snippets in god damn GoogleDocs 🤧
