Yes, that's the irony here: if you exclude webapps (which aren't nearly
as capable), emacs +
Org-mode has virtually replaced a large number of Emacs modes for me.
I haven't even figured out how to communicate to Emacs users and
non-users alike how much it has changed my workflow. Every day it
seems I discover some new feature, or try to hack something on that's
already there.
Thank you

No wonder it didn't win. Non-emacs users have few incentive to
try it, since they think emacs is bad looking and primitve in
That's an interesting point. I started using org-mode randomly,
because I was writing an outline and didn't care for outline-mode and
figured org-mode should be compatible. After I'd used it for a couple

Until about a month ago, I was a non-emacs user; and indeed, I thought
it's bad looking and, in some respects, primitive. The reason I started
using it anyway is org-mode: I wanted a decent outliner, and none of
the others I tried fit my way of working. So I gave it a try despite
the way it looks.

Org-mode is the killer app for emacs, surely? It is the reason I'm using
Emacs again after a five year gap - and not just org-mode, but BBDB and
GNUS as well.
One of the things that I find astonishing is that it does so many
disparate things so well. For

In terms of marketing within the Emacs community, it might be worth
advertising it as an outline-mode replacement. Has anyone written a

Well, I guess the writer had a small bias toward Vim against Emacs and
for sure he wasn't aware of Org-mode :)

Bastien,Might I suggest taking it a little further and maybe put a matrix.
Include apps outside of org like OmniFocus, Things, Remember the milk, etc.
Might get some non-emacs users to look at it.

But I was talking about something different. The page I had in mind is
just about why we should org-mode in some Emacs files like etc/TODO.
Further on what can sell org-mode, having pondered why I started using
