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. Steve Berman
