I'm the one who wrote the new version of todo-mode.el and I didn't make
any attempt to borrow features or code from Org mode, which I know very
little about. I started using, and making changes to, Todo mode well
before Org existed. After Org appeared I briefly looked at its todo
list UI, but I was used to and liked Todo mode's UI and handling of todo
lists and Org's UI and handling didn't appeal to me as much for the way
I use todo lists, so I didn't try using it any further, and because I
kept working on Todo mode, changing it to suit my needs, I haven't felt
compelled to try Org again. I know, of course, that Org does a lot more
than todo lists. I've been casually monitoring this list for a couple
of months, but due to my unfamiliarity can't follow most of the
discussions. Maybe I'll give Org another try.
