I'm a vim-orgmode user. I more or less edit org markup with vim and a few helper commands.
The main selling points for me were document production, and the ability to run code that generates part of the document. As a bonus org is kind of fun to extend or override functionality (in elisp) when you want a particular output or feature.
Org can export to LaTeX, HTML, and more. With python ebooklib I can produce a usable epub output. Before org I had been using LaTeX, and this let me maintain the same style output there.
Org's babel feature turns it into something more like jupyter notebook for any language or mix of languages. I can generate diagrams from source sections, run shell to filter includes, include code and its generated output.
Org has filter lists for modifying exports with your own function, or use Emacs advice system to mangle things before the org code gets them.
I don't use the agenda features much, but they're a big feature for using org as a planner/todo list. Org can generate calendars, reports, and special views from your files to help keep track of all that.
