Hmmm. I see the use in this...

For me, everything swirls in an enjoyable vortex towards org-mode.

- Literate Programming, tangle/weave

- Export to DocX, PDF, HTML

- Org-Roam

- Time Management.

Several things mentioned above are day to day. I think spectacular things are often made up of collections of useful everyday things.

Org was designed for being a PKM-like system. Markdown was designed for README.md. It doesn't mean that you cant use either for the other task, but Obsidian for example had to modify markdown significantly, to add support for tags, math, etc.

It's just a shame that org format works really well only in emacs.

Org mode is great for plain text info storage. Just difficult to use if you havent joined the church of emacs

Why? I use it in VSCode and vim all the time.
