You don't need org-mode to be productive. You are wasting time using Black person niche feature to make yourself feel productive while it's actually not getting anything done. It's the same reason everyone use ubuntu and you choose to use nixos to feel special.
mmm tasty I love "features" documented by their presence in a reference implementation in emacs, the fricking shittiest buggiest least portable lisp interpreter conceivable
I don't want to do 99% of what org does. I was going to learn/install/setup emacs and use org-mode until I saw DistroTube using it for his config files. I realized Python and vimscript would do everything I thought I'd get out of org-mode.
Org has a wide range of features, while remaining quite easy to parse. Doing just one of these is piss easy, but doing both is not.
Meanwhile Markdown is so barren that every real world use of it ends up being a new ad hoc language based on it.
Markup editors can't even do percentage completion dude
The markup editors out there are shit
Some are even proprietary while being shit
Really boggles the mind
org-mode is riduculously overrated and most of the time a massive case of a solution looking for a problem. I don't understand why it was built in in the first place.
I say this as a long time emacs user who still uses and loves emacs to this very day.
I'm actually thinking about switching all my org-mode documents to markdown. Beside org-capture I don't use most features it provides. It helped me getting the habits to keep notes about everything but lisp/scheme never clicked for me and you do need to write custom elisp to configure org-mode properly beyond basic setq options
It has comments. (Markdown has HTML comments but that's just bad.)
The editing experience is better than markdown-mode, and I was already using Emacs. The tables and built-in export and itemized list handling work well for me.
so? the fact is you can't write an org file which won't be rendered correctly on someone else's machine
until "markdown" can do the same, it's just a toy
>the fact is you can't write an org file which won't be rendered correctly on someone else's machine
Only if both sides use emacs, which is not an argument, because both sides could also just be using the same Markdown renderer.

how do they know what renderer to use if I just drop a file to public?
or should I also write which "markdown" was used in the file?
lol kek what a bullshit

ah yes, everyone has every possible "markdown" renderer installed
but you didn't reply to the question
I wonder why?
This, Org mode could've dominated Markdown with a proper spec, it unifies a lot of the behavior on a lot of shitty NIH syndrome markdown extensions out there, but they didn't want to. Unfortunately crappy Github markdown is the one thing that seems like is going to get all the fuzz. Pandoc's markdown is better if no other alternative IMO.
If there was a proper spec it'd have thrived, as markdown is a fricking nightmare of unsupported extensions for everything but the most basic functionality like anchors, but that was too hard aparently.
What job? I use it to organize my notes and link to various files that I use a lot. And to organize my configurations because I can run source code in org-mode. It can also be exported to other formats, but I haven't had a need to do that. Whenever I spawn an Emacs window, it immediately opens my main org file and I can find whatever I want very quickly.
Org mode is great.
Stop seething about it and learn how to use it and emacs properly.
If you don't want to use it because it's >le bloat
then frick off and do what you want, there are tons of alternatives, e.g. the linux kernel uses reStructuredText for its documentation.
If you do want to use it but are afraid of learning emacs then stop being a pussy.
that is markdown
for me its .txt
Srbr (second moron best moron)
let me know when markdown can do 1% of what org does

If anything, the org-mode-obsessed Lisp autist would be using Guix so satisfy his Lisp autism.
mmm tasty I love "features" documented by their presence in a reference implementation in emacs, the fricking shittiest buggiest least portable lisp interpreter conceivable
There's no "reference implementation", there is an Emacs major mode called org-mode and some clones from morons filtered by emacs
that is the point– there is no spec, there is no portable implementation, there is just a major mode glued into the dumpster fire that is emacs.

It's fricking plain text m8, you can write org files in notepad.exe.
Then org has no advantage over Markdown.

just use whatever fancy your shit.
or use whatever the team wants to.

Just use a normal text editor to write markdown and not some moronic markdown editor
what?
Same reason you use markdown when you could just use html.
It's the endgame of markup languages.
why not just have a nice day and get the job done?
I use Apple Notes and simple todo outline with text checkboxes.

Plenty of tools for that too:

But... I need to be special
There is a huge list of such software,
just scrapes the surface. Hype is immense, but most don't really work well. If you want to be special you can make one that delivers.

>thinking about switching
Whatever you chose, make sure the format is easily exported.

there is no reason to use orgmode for documents if you don't use emacs
likewise, there is no reason to use markdown for documents if you do use emacs
there's no "markdown"
there's GFM, CommonMark, MarkBlack person etc
but there's org-mode
This is wrong. There is no org-mode spec. Only a shitty emacs plugin.

why not Sinply remember things?
you don't need to take notes and write reminders. if it is important you will remember, end of

org-mode is an emacs mode for working with outlined documents. markdown is a markup format.
