Org mode is easy to get started with if you’re an emacs user. I am one. But before I used emacs, there was no org mode in my life. And let’s face it, while emacs and vim allow you to craft your flow, most people are gonna use something like VSCode. Emacs and Vim have not been able to escape their old school image, even with all their awesomeness.

I’d argue that ease-of-starting also includes how visible something is, since you can quickly find it and find resources for it. Most text editors don’t have org mode or have a small, half baked subset of it at best.

A lot of amazing adjectives apply to org mode. Ease of use isn’t it until it climbs over the emacs wall.

Not trying to be combative. I’d love if more people used org. Would love to be educated here if something I said isn’t accurate.

I agree with you. I had used micro-emacs in the 80's and when, about 3 years back, I heard about org mode I wanted to become a big boy and start using emacs. It was a bitter struggle and for many months I regretted that I had even started down this path. But now I can do the basics and it feels much better. I know that I will be rewarded if I persist.
