> The only thing holding me back from experimenting with org-mode is its tight coupling with emacs. As a non-emacs user, my successful route to orgmode was with Spacemacs and evil for Vim keybindings. After several false starts, what worked for me was: 1) realizing I didn't need to go full emacs: I stick with Vim for plain text editing, Visual Studio for coding at work and PyCharm/Visual Studio Code for coding at home. 2) consciously learning one new org-mode feature at a time, and adding their shortcuts to my own cheat sheet.
