1. OP never mentioned VIM, so I do not see how it's relevant to compare EMACS to that - editor wars are long over ;) 2. OP asked for an alternative to EMACS for ORG-mode editing, as he obviously does not wants to use EMACS at the current time being. Just saying that it's all so easy and making peoples issue with a complex editor like EMACS seem irrelevant or non-existing won't help anybody. So, some alternatives to EMACS seem to be: * for VS Code: https://github.com/vscode-org-mode/vscode-org-mode * for vim: https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode * for atom: https://atom.io/packages/organized * sublime: https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode Also, some more information about integration can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Org-mode#Integration

In The future of education is plain text
I've tried to use org mode several times. Its functionality is truly great, but having to use emacs to use it is too much of a hurdle for me. I struggle to remember all the emacs key combinations, so in the end I just give up and revert to text files. It would be great if someone ported org mode out of emacs. I've tried the Sublime Text org mode package[0] but it's still too bare to be useful. Does anyone know of an alternative way to use it? [0]: https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode
In Org mode 9.0 released
Org-mode is a big stumbling block for me as well and it seems like most of its features would be possible in Sublime Text 2, but the sheer degree of integration that it's managed with Emacs' various hooks and processes might be much harder. The various org-insinuate functions, the packages to hook it into magit (or rather ST2's equivalents) & Mew, etc. are all pretty important to me. I haven't looked deeply into customizing ST2, but is it actually feasible to hook into it so deeply? [ETA: There's a stab at an ST org-mode here that I tried previously, but really isn't very far along and development stopped almost a year ago: https://bitbucket.org/theblacklion/sublime_orgmode/ There's a fork at https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode that seems to be somewhat more active.]
In Sublime Text 2 Build 2181
