> I will admit that I'm not a fan of org mode and find it to be oversold and another time waster for people who are already wasting time configuring their editors. I personally use vimwiki, there is a vim plugin for org mode.

I actually use emacs solely for org-mode. I find editing single files and even larger projects to be more of a pain that it is worth, so I just use my custom vim to do that.

What keeps me with org mode and emacs is mostly bibliography management. I have emacs set up to read my Zotero directory, and with a keybinding I can insert a reference to a book or magazine or the such. Now, what is really great about this is that when I export the org file (usually to latex->pdf, but also occasionaly to HTML), it exports the references in the style that they need to be in (MLA, APA, Turabian, etc.) and creates a bibliography page at the end of the export with everything that I referenced.

I can also add notes to any references using org-roam, so that I have have annotated bibliographies quite easily.

If I could have something else that does just this, I would drop emacs in a heartbeat. But until I do find that, emacs and org-mode it is.

Same. I have try many outliners to irrationally avoid emacs but they all suck compared to org-mode.
