Are there other good reasons to use mu4e? I'm an Emacs person, but not yet an "I do my email in Emacs" person.
Similarly, if I'm writing, any mail (or attachment) from the last decade is just a few key strokes and a search query away, without ever really taking my eyes off my current buffer.
I know there are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but that close link between my mail and the rest of my writing is the main benefit, for me, of having my mail in emacs.
If I wasn't using org, I don't think I would find it that useful. I'm not really a power user of mu4e. I don't have any complicated email workflows. I like that the search is very fast (for me, anyway -- I only have 100k emails), and, obviously, that my email is stored locally. I like that I can compose in Emacs. I also use two computers and I like that I can easily share configuration. My config, which doesn't do anything too fancy, is here: https://github.com/mjhoy/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.d/lisp/i...
How good are OS X task management tools? Can they build/export custom reports and stuff?
There is only one big thing I find is missing to Org, and that's its lack of options for collaboration. After all any humans collaborating toward common goals would do best to have a common plan and a common way to track each others progress.
There are many people who use Emacs as their OS, its never been appealing to me, because I like the richness of other tools.
There is a question though, are OSes doing enough to make the integrated experience like Emacs something that's done system wide? I think Apple comes close to providing the set of things you want, but it still feels tacked onto the top, rather than more deeply integrated.
From someone who never touched OS X, how would you compare its system-wide software integration with Emacs?

They essentially act as regexes that when match allow for an external application to be called with that text sent as a parameter. This allows for dates to be clickable and create and event in a calendar for example.
They also do a good job of taking phone numbers from emails and when an unknown call comes in suggesting that it might be the person who included that in an email.
These features generally work well in their apps, but I think there's less support for third parties to create custom options (though I haven't actually tried so not sure).
I'm using Windows & Linux at work, and Mac OS X at home, and Emacs provides uniform interface for most of my tasks, except web browsing and multimedia...
[[rmail:<mbox-path>#<message-id>][link text]]
I split my mboxes regularly, so I need to link them via mairix instead of rmail. I haven't set it up yet, but that is so trivial I guess it's already done.
