I started with a org init file, but it was too much hazel — maybe
because it was split across files.  I now manage a single 4400 LOC
init file.

Now I use isearch and orgstruct-mode, a minor mode allowing org-like
folding.  I have the following in the top of my init file.

;; -*- orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp: ";;" -*-

If you want, you could load orgstruct automatically with

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (orgstruct-mode)
;; End:

in the bottom, but this will mean that Org is loaded automatically a
init, which I would advice against if you enjoy fast Emacs init.
