This is the package you're looking for. Just drag and drop images into the org mode buffer and you're done. I've been using it for years to take lecture / book notes in org mode where I have to constantly take screenshots and embed them in my notes.

I tried org-download package and while it works with normal org files it doesn't work for org roam files (don't know how since both are just org files), is there a reason for such behavior.

You can absolutely include images in your org, that's standard. You may want to look into org-download to drag and drop images, screenshots etc.

org-download makes drag and drop work :)

This package that OP linked supports inserting images from clipboard and other sources: https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download

I like to insert images in my anki cards with org-download (https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download/). The behavior by default in doom-emacs is

For those still on 28, crux-rename-file-and-buffer does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point. This sort of command, that no other code will rely on, was never that important to get into core, and there's some merit in making people create the commands they needed. It's not like with the additions to subr and subr-x libraries (string-replace, string-search etc), which can't come fast enough.

Use vc-rename-file or crux-rename-file-and-buffer from crux

A similar functionality is in the crux package (see crux-delete-file-and-buffer).

How about https://github.com/bbatsov/crux?

Some packages I use for more effective text editing is crux for general text editing (video on crux), paredit for lisp editing and for org-mode:

I'll go with crux. It's not all about text editing, but it's got a lot of commands in dwim-fashion.

I learned the syntax of org-mode in an hour (maybe less), It has many superiorities to markdown (see this excellent essay). Emacs is a fully-featured tool, it's a lifetime of learning, just like all extremely powerful tools, you can see the blogs of many emacs experts like Bozhidar, Protesilaos, Karl Voit (to name a few) learning new features of Emacs quite regularly.
