Ok, thanks for the info, a bit of package competition can't do no harm,
and since envy is a strong motivation, some of the better features of
one package might be ported later on to the other package too (see vim
vs. emacs).
I was just confused to read about an Emacs todo-mode without any
mentioning of Org-mode - now the context is clearer.
