While I’m sure there’s a sliver of usage outside, I’d wager most emacs org mode usage is firmly inside what the average human would consider a nerd niche.
well yes, that's what i'm saying. most people that interact with a computer use notion, a small percentage obsidian, and a fraction of that emacs org mode or other similar tools. I use zim-wiki but I don't expect most people to do the same, just like I don't expect most musicians to learn lilypond
Ah. I misread your list. I missed the "over" as a contrasting conjunction, in part because there are plenty of non-nerd [albeit perhaps scripted-by-one] usages of imagemagick and ffmpeg, so I didn't readily detect it was a list A and a list B.
