And, in the end, we end up 4th, beat omnioutliner, get nearly
the same number of votes as Word does.  Pretty strong
showing, I'd say!

Thanks for the votes!

Anyway,  this is Emacs in a pretty public limelight.  I like it.

IMO, the low rating of org-mode on this list shows that most people
prefer flashy GUIs over extreme power, efficiency, and flexibility.
Then again, that seems to be the general state in today's computing
world.


yes... and, really, the word computing is entirely optional in  
your last sentence. the poll points to a much more generalized  
preference for style and ease-of-use over flexibility and  
engagement of the mind.


ugh.

cheers!

 Done as well.

And the sad part is that Word and OneNote figure in this list at all.
The former sucks.  The latter is a good tool, but not for outlining.
IMO, the low rating of org-mode on this list shows that most people
prefer flashy GUIs over extreme power, efficiency, and flexibility.
Then again, that seems to be the general state in today's computing
world.

Even the description of org-mode in this poll is simply wrong its not 
command line  ITS PLAIN TEXT !!!
That means even the author of the poll had not any idea of what he is writing 
about...
What did he do? Goggled org program and took the first 5 hits ?!

This is pretty worseless...


However, I vote ;)

Greetings
Torsten
