Really good question, this product was first imagined to suit my needs, which aren’t specific enough to be qualified as “hardcore project management” or “student note taking”.
I’ll answer that Obsibrain was made to fit everyone’s common and fundamental needs in terms of task management, goal settings/life tracking, and folder organizations.
If you’re a student who takes heavy notes, you’ll find your way through Obsibrain, as you may not use all of its features, or you may extend it with other plugins to fit your exact needs. This starter template could be a great place to start organizing your notes in categories and PARA structure that fits your studies.
If you’re a heavy, hardcore project manager, you’ll find your way as well and extend it with kanbans or any other plugins, etc.
It was important to me that I don’t get into a really niche group of people. I know it can be beneficial in terms of marketing, but that was not my goal, as the Obsidian templates aren’t really a thing (yet), it could have been more dangerous for me to go all-in on one niche.
How is your task management better / different to the todo plugin
Please have a look at the website: obsibrain.com, you already have some video examples of all the upcoming features (I know the video may be hard to follow, long demos videos with explanations are coming)
How do you intend to handle dataview tables with all the diverse and case specific needs one might have? (I assume the intended experience is plug and play)
I’ll open a public roadmap and will extensively seek feedback, the aim is to create something that fits universally anyone. (Yes, small use cases per individual won’t obviously be able to be addressed) You can also have a look at the website, I’ve already worked with custom views.
what does the plugin actually do? Is it like a specialized quickadd that runs templates?
Exactly, I first used quickadd and then fell back to create my own quickadd using script and code. If you run the command “Open Daily Review,” you’ll create a new file DATE.md file inside the daily folder (a sequence of actions done with scripting).
Are the templates and their functionality based on the themplater plugin, using the same commands?
Here are the all plugins I currently use (Templater, Dataview, and Tasks plugins are the most used):

how much will it cost?
Price will range from $50-$100 max. I don’t have an exact price idea in mind right now.
I would enable full width view
I extended the view in the custom code of this template, and I know that can also be done with themes.
make sure that using images is as easy as possible and outline the limitations, especially for new users.
Yes!
