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.
