Any perspectives and experience in what makes Obsidian GTD worthy would be most GTD appreciated

Thank you very much

As you see GTD fit. . . .

It's not perfect by any means for GTD, there are apps that are more specifically designed with GTD in mind. BUT, it is accessible from everywhere and any device, is simple, is easily modified in more ways that you can imagine, can be adapted to almost any style of working and how you think but does take time to figure out what you will or won’t use. It's a software leatherman of tools. Good enough in many ways but perhaps not best in breed for anything specific. For me at this point in myGTD journey it fits the bill. I'd rather have 1 tool I learn very very well than several with better features that I never have time to really work with enough to understand how to use it. Plus the file over app mindset is critical to e the odler I get.

Obsidian is great for GTD because of its flexibility and the ability to link notes together, which makes tracking tasks and projects easier. You can customize it with plugins like Daily Notes and Kanban to fit your GTD workflow perfectly. Plus, having your data stored locally gives you peace of mind.

Obsidian is, first and foremost, a solution to store notes (on steroids).

You do not need more than notes to run GTD.

There you go.

If one wants more, one can use add-ins for task management (the powerful tasks plugin, or, as I do, the kanban plugin).
But in essence, this makes the lists just prettier.
No more than lists are needed.

I use both and am experimenting with te a canvas dataview summary of tasks in a shared vault I use for team management for AnimalTrakker

Infinite (or nearly so ) customizability is Obsidian's superpower.

I too use obsidian but purely as my main reference tool. Its great for that "out of the box". I think truly using it for your list manager would require some tweaking but as mentioned the extensibility of Obsidian makes that pretty easy to accomplish and customize to your needs. I particularly like a very well made Todoist link plugin that allows me to add tasks to todoist from any note. Quite nice for my needs.
