Well, either I don't understand CUSTOM_ID vs ID not completely or I've got some arguments for writing IDs by myself: I only create ID-properties manually and only for cases where I want to link to a heading. My IDs look like "2016-08-25-install-xubuntu-notebook" and therefore, all links to it are self-explanatory: id:2016-08-25-install-xubuntu-notebook I use them with org-depend.el for blocking, setting status on completing tasks, and so forth. So far, I do not think that I can use CUSTOM_ID for org-depend.el. At least a test with ":BLOCKER: a-custom-id" (or "#a-custom-id") did not seem to have any impact. My blogging system[1] is also using (manually crafted) IDs to refer to blog articles. > The reason I ask is that I've got code that makes sure that every > headline has an ID property set unique because org-uuid makes it so > easy. I can't follow your argument. What is org-uuid and why should I have automatically generated IDs? I once had "org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items" activated which produced random(?) IDs for all headings. I could not find any use for it.
