I like org-mode but what I like the most is the whole Emacs ecosystem. You can tweak org-mode and customized to your liking. You can think of org-mode as interactive markup language. It has a lot of features for managing TODOs but what I like the most I hiding or displaying sections, exporting directly to latex or html using custom classes with a simple keybinding and so one. It takes time to get familiar with Emacs. I started on October and was spending one hour a day during two weeks to get familiar with it. You have to take it very slow because there are a lot of keybidings, concepts and functions. It is like learning to play piano. But once you get it it's awesome and it is lots of fun. This May I started getting serious with elisp, the Emacs scripting language (also Emacs own language, C and elisp), and it's amazing. You can automate everything you want really easily. I wrote some elisp functions that made my life so much useful. I used to have tons of bash shells open over the place. Now I have some key bindings that automate the usual tasks. Some written in bash but others written in elisp or a mix so I have a nice UI and can have easy selection or can add parameters and interact with my documents. If you have time, are curious and like to hack I totally recommend giving it a try. Also the community is amazing. Getting into Emacs made me discover other funny things like mailing lists, Usenet and even philosophers! I am not an expert and I will never be but for me it is a lot of fun. Also the community is awesome.
