It is the reason I'm using Emacs again after a five year gap - and not just org-mode, but BBDB and GNUS as well. One of the things that I find astonishing is that it does so many disparate things so well. For planning and organising there is nothing to match its flexibility AND its power; yet it doesn't force any particular method of organising on you. They all work, and you can be as sloppy as you like. As an outliner...well it is THE outliner as far as I'm concerned. For years I've been searching for the perfect writing tool. I found it.
