org-mode is a brilliant format. The limitation is that you would have to use Emacs or something which support .org files.

What else besides EMACS supports .org files?

Form the alternatives I've seen so far it looks best. But EMACS? (I'm on Linux, but never liked EMACS or Vi(m)).

The second best looking alternative seems AsciiDoc. It has some more tooling as I see it.

But really like the .org syntax best so far. So any recommendations for tooling?

AsciiDoc still has no footnotes, but only endnotes. Therefore not really useful for writing non-fiction books. As org-mode files are only text files, you can use any editor you like. If you want all the goodies (agenda, TODOs etc), you have to use Emacs, yes.
