Why use Emacs? Why use Org mode? For the first, because some of us like that we don't have to change applications just to do different tasks. Yeah, kind of a silly reason, but there you go, why Emacs has packages for almost anything you can think of. Why Org mode? Because it's good and it's already here, and like Emacs itself, it covers everything. Once you've used it for a while, every other way of organizing information looks like half-baked attempts to provide maybe a third to half of what Org already does. Also, I'm primarily asking the question because it's something that always comes up whenever these kinds of productivity tools get posted on HN. It's essentially a meme. Foam does look pretty interesting, although porting everything in Org over to it would be somewhat frustrating...
