The UPS is probably that it can do ALL these things - in which task manager can you include and chain different code snippets together? I think org is the only one.  

But this leads to the other point: org is a Swiss Army knife with integrated power drill and tooling machines to build new tools you don't know you need but without which you won't be able to love without afterwards. And did I mention the hidden gems? I just discovered the whole reference citation. 
Again: which task manager can be used to write a publishable scientific paper?

So the uniqueness of org is that it can do many things and you only have to learn one toolset for this. 

Cheers,

Rainer
