@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I've had my phase of using org-mode for everything; tasks, calendars, literate programming, publishing, time tracking, note taking, etc. but as I grow older, I prefer simplicity and longevity more, and having a super feature rich markup language with only one (massive) full implementation is not something I like. I prefer to write my own plain-text formats focused on simplicity and line-orientation whenever possible, and then use very simple UNIX-y script to convert them to anything else. The only thing I couldn't get rid of org-mode for, is LaTeX, I'm just too familiar with using org-mode to generate LaTeX documents, especially with emacs's good support of RTL scripts for Arabic writing. I would get rid of emacs itself for something smaller and simpler, but too bad emacs is the only acceptable text editor, its extensibility is too good, I have thousands of lines of custom emacs lisp code I can't easily get rid of, and I love it and hate it.
