Take on Notion

Most teams leaving Notion don't actually need to leave; they need to clean up their workspace. The teams who genuinely outgrow it have one of three problems: workspaces that load in 5+ seconds, a partner that's anti-cloud, or a CEO who read one HN thread about data ownership. Match the alternative to the actual problem, not the vibe.
