I like to research, and found Zettelkasten to be a great way to do so. The benefit is that you build up a database of very well-reasoned notes that you can link together in different context and build even higher levels of well-reasoned arguments. I used to do it in a simpler way with just grep and plain old unix files, but the ability to quickly find, create and reference notes with something like marksman makes it easier to stay in the flow and be more productive. Even though I could technically do it before, something just clicked with this new approach.
I think it's good to try out different tools and workflows and see what work for you, as it helps you better grasp what your needs are. So even if you don't use the tools they don't have to be a waste of time.
