    I’m vaguely aware of Org-mode but only as an alternative to Markdown. Last time I looked into it, though (years ago), Markdown seemed like a much better option for me for various reasons. Do you have a good argument for why Org-mode is a better choice for common use cases than the relatively universal GitHub-flavored Markdown?

      depending on what you do there are large benefits, for me they are executable code blocks (i.e. jupyter like experience) and way better latex support (if you type equations that are more involved this is rather important).

      Much better ToDo list system with calendar integration and notifications via mobile apps.

        Do you happen to have more info on mobile integration? I can only find one or two apps which claim to support org-mode notes at all, so I’m interested. Kinda assumed it wasn’t much of a thing, honestly.
