I'm using notion for personal stuff and have found this line too. Personally it's still the best note taking basic + kanban board. I use github issues with zenhub for code stuff and notion for everything else. I have a global tags database in notion and then I use a global recursive self referencing tasks table so I can link thing globally easily and then just create views when I need to. I think you can get lost but overall it's nice having one source of truth with different views.

I think the product lacks maturity. I think the notifications are garbage, and the inability to hide / emphasis / format the data for a specific form or view is lacking. I think they tried and failed with templates. They need a form builder and more view windows present in places like the properties list.

In my experience regardless of the flexibility of the tool, somebody will want to waste time building out the tool from that 80% to 100% use case when they should have just been happy with the 80%.
