I'm one of those who came to Emacs because of Org. I read an article in some magazine (Linux Journal?) about Org and knew I had to try it out. Once I was into using Org, Emacs took over more and more of my computing life. People who use a non-free semi-implementation of Org may not even realize Emacs is the software that made Org possible and that Emacs is so great, and I think that is sad. Scott
