Vibe coding sounds easy 'cause the ai makes all the work. but it's much easier to code per hand because ai can make mistakes that a human don't see. also you have to prompt in the right way. if you don't prompt "right" the ai makes a thing you don't want you can write the ai "write me a word clone" and the ai gives you a simple texteditor code where you can write text and save it but you haven't hypermarker, ruler, image inserts, video inserts, link previews, etc. so you have to describe the ai exactly what you want into the least detail. thats very complex so most developers don't vibe code or vibe code only easy parts or complex parts that takes usually months to develope but a ai can do this in 10 seconds if you prompt "right". usually you use prebuild projects.

In today's world, does word perfect give you anything that markdown in obsidian doesn't? (other than weird key bindings and file format)

Maybe it does - distraction-free writing is a thing. Something vibed off wordstar but made more relevant could be pretty cool.

It is easier to run them in DOSBOX-X than vibe code them.
