Same here. The advantage of Org is that it is likely to be around forever, and it's plain text.
And it offers some very nice interpreters to be used on top of plain text. For example, agenda views can support any workflow you can possibly imagine, from a daily planner to a kanban, without needing to write Elisp.
Org, and in general Emacs have this very nice feeling of giving you tools to build whatever you want. In contrast to much more rigid GUI applications.
- p10_user 7y agoThough to be honest Word is likely to be around forever as well - insofar as "forever" means current computing equipment. In a world where you can't open a Word document is probably a world where we aren't able to read plain text documents either. After all, Word documents are "just" a series of compressed xml files. Even the open source alternatives will allow you to recover text in the event you lose access to Microsoft products.
