The only thing holding me back from experimenting with org-mode is its tight coupling with emacs. It's a non-starter on a team where people aren't willing to switch over to it (at least to view and interact with org files). It's difficult for anyone who has a heavy reliance on IDE features; I've spent literally probably close to a hundred hours trying to get emacs + IDE-like integrations working for a variety of languages, with only mixed success. Yes, I understand that going with emacs is a 'different way' of doing things, and perhaps you won't need your IDE if you just do things the emacs way, but the barrier to entry is very high, between building in new muscle memory for shortcuts, the highly non-standard UX compared to every other editor today, and the hours and hours required to configure everything by hand, even with a starter config like spacemacs.
