> Could it be that org-mode isn't as clumsy as you think? Of course it is possible: I'm frequently wrong on many topics. Otoh, the video unintentionally shows just how clumsy org mode is. This video could be called an analog to Leo's rst3 command. Yes, it's cute, but it has little or nothing to do about any of the points I've raised. The video show how to make documents *containing* code snippets; it deals not at all with Leo's core features. Otoh, I'd like to see whether Leo can use a similar chain to in a convert-to-pdf add-on to the rst3 command ;-) To convince me that org mode has Leo's power, you have to show that it has the equivalent of at least the following: - Leo's generators: c.all_positions(), p.subtree(), etc. - A concept of current position, p. - p.insertAs..., p.doDelete, p.moveTo... - p.b, p.h and p.u. - @others and @file. Does org mode provide *any* of the features listed above. Not that I know of. Leo outlines are composed of true Python objects. Leo defines many operations on those objects. Does org mode preprocess text to make such operations fast? If not, org mode operations will be orders of magnitude slower.
