I tried it out a while ago. It's simple and the markup format is similar (not the same) to org. In fact should be straightforward to translate from one to the other. However, I wouldn't use it for a long document instead of org for one simple reason: org has so much extra functionality over and above markup such as, for instance, project management and tags+categories. I find it so much easier to be productive by being able to incorporate todos and so on within a document rather than having a separate task manager. Searching and navigation within a large document is also easier. YMMV, of course. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.304.g71203.dirty)
