I was just looking at the Org mode web site and thought this edit might
contribute to the discussion.
This text at the top of Org mode web site:
Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, doing project

I describe Org-mode to people using something like: «Org-mode is a
very large box of LEGO bricks. What it does for you? It depends on
the bricks you use and how you combine them. It adopts to your

Orgmode: your life, in plain text.

Wow! Great thread.
I was going to ask the question "what @isn't@ Emacs OrgMode"--and not in a
