I think simplicity would be the biggest advantage. I started with
Org-Mode about six months ago and I think I've noticed an increase in
the complexity (that's probably also partly due to reading threads on
this list which, arguably, is a portal into the most complex aspects
of Org-Mode).
I need to re-think/re-consider my suggestion and articulate it more
clearly, I think!
