ABSTRACT
Org-mode is a large Emacs sub-systems that has been integrated into
Emacs with the version 22.1 release. From it original intend,
Org-mode is a system for structured note-taking and project planning.
It uses strictly plain text files, making it a truly portable,
system-independent solution. The project-planning features are
implemented using a fairly simple outlining paradigm, upon which
meta-data concepts like due dates, priorities, TODO states and tags
are overlayed in a non-intrusive way. Besides outlining the system
and its basic concepts, I will give background information into the
history of Org-mode and discuss the properties of such an evolved
system compared to a top-down designed one. Finally, I will also
briefly touch on some technical aspects that may be interesting for
Emacs wizards and developers.

With all the …
With all the software and tools that are out there for the purpose of organizing yourself (I’ve tried quite a few over the years), org-mode is the best thing there will ever be. Used it for over a year now.
The flexible editing capabilities of Emacs and plain text are the perfect fundaments for its functionality.

I use the org mode and I think it is very useful. I combines to note task, bugs and other information in a simplicity and flexible way. I use Outlook at my workplace, mainly for e-mail, but I notes and dates too. But the notes and tasks in Outlook are not very useful and it needs a lot of clicks to combine notes and tasks of the same project…

Just enter M-x butterfly to be the real roxer!
Seriously, the org table mode kicks ass, very intuitive and nice to edit.
Very good that it is possible to “export” them to latex or html or whatever, this needs to be made more public.

Just enter M-x viper-mode and you can stop whining. Problem solved!

I would rather plunge pencils into my eyes than return to the of emacs.

And Emacs can emulate vi with Viper mode. So if you think vi keys are a good idea (I do), you can still have the best of both worlds.

Joint With Russell video, this lecture made me change from planner-el to org-mode!

No, thy’re called recursive Emacs’ in professional literature. Quite a powerful thing actually once you get the hand of it.

Bravo! Org-mode is a great piece of emacs hackering. It’s very easy to learn incrementally – I started using it effectively within the first hour of discovering it, and I will make heavy use of some of the features presented in this video – particularly the integration with calc.
My compliments and thanks to Professor Dominik for his work, and to Google for making this and other TechTalks available to the public.

That said, you can …
That said, you can of course also run another Emacs in said terminal emulation running in Emacs, and the truly self-referentially inclined may try to attach an additional TTY Emacs frame to the Emacs in which the TTY emulation which hosts that additional frame runs. Doing so may tear the fabric of the space-time continuum.

OneNote is essentially a programmer’s straightjacket. I am impressed by some of the visual flair, but Org-Mode wins hands down for portability
I’ve used it for 1+ years, and it is essential on emacs because of links and clocking time. I use it as a knowledgebase, a journal, and as a web site management tool. It is simply amazing, and its maintainer, Carsten, is definitely one of my role models in terms of a developer that is in tune with his user community, both present and future needs.

I think you can start a terminal emulation in Emacs, and then run vi in there…

Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks a decent editor
