i used to use org-mode a lot back in the day, but I lost my emacs config, and since then haven't really gone back.
I always have a fond memory of organizing my tech life with org-mode, though. It was truly ahead of its time, but I feel there's better tools for the job now, that specialize in doing each of the many things org-mode does, but better.
Some alternatives I used off and on for a bit:
* NValt
* Respose Notes
* Evernote
* Plain Tasks for Sublime Text https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks
* Workflowy
* Other web-based/mobile optimized tools
It's still a great tool for managing a single dev's work life, especially if using emacs, but I've found more modern tools, with collaboration built in, pretty formatting for non-techies, etc. a little more flexible.
(I also dare to say that I'm on Microsoft OneNote these days, mostly because I work in a multi-platform environment.)
- stinkytaco 10y agoJust to play counterpoint to this, these features being available in various tools is precisely why I like org mode. Workflowy has always struck me as "org-lite", and plain tasks for sublime is also a good package, as is nvalt. But the combination of org-velocity or deft and org give me all that in an integrated tool. The only thing I don't get is the clipping ability of Evernote. Plus my data is my own, not locked into someone else's ecosystem.
