The seamless integration might be also true for MS OneNote, you're probably right. However, there might be major things to add to the list which OneNote is not able to handle in that combination. Dependencies are not available except for full-blown project-management software which do have their overhead. At least I could not find anything satisfying yet. Please do tell me, which task/todo-management system is able to do this in a reasonable way. > You have to know all "competitors" and their features to be sure it is a > true (unique!) USP. This is nearly impossible. I think I know most tools out there, tried many, many, many of them by myself over the previous decades. However, I can not know everything - I know. As a result, I am trying this collective/combined approach with this thread and (probably later on) a Worg page. I am confident that Org-mode has a number of USPs. > Some more key selling points form someone who still tries to learn emacs > just for using org-mode: A absolutely agree on your list. On the one side, I tend to think that we've got those lists already in various feature-highlight-lists. On the other side, I am not aware of a list of Org-mode USPs that *no* other tool provides. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
