But I do think questions of proselytization (because we > /are/ talking religion here) is important. I would say Org-mode users form the moderate demography among the followers of the church of Emacs ;). Personally I think, any attempts at conversion is futile. Just like real religion, choosing an editor is an immensely personal decision if editing text (in whatever form, source code, or prose) is a major part of your day. You should stop at mentioning and bragging about Org-mode; leave the decision to try or switch to the other person. Just my 2¢ :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
