I very much like the phrase «... convert your text into action and your
chaos into structure». Given Bastien's presentation, I think he would
agree with this.
But, anyway, I stand by my statement that Dr. Vollmar's phrase is very
good to intrigue would-be-users. I know it did it for me ---a couple of
months old newbie. And thanks to org-mode now I'm also using exclusively
AUCTeX for my work (copy-editor/typesetter).
