Furthermore, each item you have listed as a benefit to Org-mode is in fact capable of being done in Markdown via plugins for neovim, and probably other markdown editors, like Loqseq, Roamresearch, or Obisidian, much in the same way you speak of plugins that interface with .org docs.

So, my suggestion is that before dismissing a comment regarding a plugin that is unfamiliar to you, is to read its spec, and then try to understand why people would be perhaps dismissive of that tool, especially when it chooses to conflict with existing, more popular choices.
- iLemming 3y ago> No, Neorg does not use the same markup as Org-mode. Okay, I admit I assumed that prematurely. I do stand by my words though - Org-mode in Emacs is much more capable than Markdown in any other editor or a specialized tool I have seen. Emacs is not without flaws, and Org-mode also has weaknesses. Sometimes Markdown is a better tool for certain things, but when strictly comparing capabilities and potential, Org-mode would be ahead. Anyone who has used it sufficiently would attest to that.
