Obsidian isn't meant to be a general purpose text editor, it's a personal wiki; None of the things you mentioned are its goals, though it can highlight source code in code blocks.
It's meant to be a second brain, with interlinking between notes and ideas a la the Zettelkasten method. I use it for keeping everything from DND notes to local documentation on my home lab, to meeting notes... Think Notion or the like, if you're familiar.
Here's a great overview by one of my favorite YouTube channels: https://youtu.be/DbsAQSIKQXk
For general purpose editing, I personally use Neovim in Termux.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/DbsAQSIKQXk
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Thanks. Understood.
