I'm not sure that emacs (ab)use is the right frame of reference here.
Shouldn't we be talking about interoperability standards here? Orgmode
supports the same core set of data that other todo list tools and
calendar tools support. In many cases, Orgmode can export cleanly, as
the OP suggested. In a few cases, it can import. Can that be taken
further? I just wanted to add my two cents for OM "playing well with
others" and I'm curious as to what people are trying.
