From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 13, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
Vim-OrgMode Text outlining and task management for Vim based on Emacs’ Org-Mode. The idea for this plugin was born by listening to the Floss Weekly podcast introducing Emacs Org-Mode. Org-Mode has a lot of strong features like folding, views (sparse tree) and scheduling of tasks. These are completed by hyperlinks, tags, todo states, priorities aso. vim-orgmode aims at providing the same functionality for Vim. Features Currently vim-orgmode does not support all orgmode features but is quite usable. Short list of the already supported features: Syntax highlighting Cycle visibility of headings (folding) Navigate between headings Edit the structure of the document: add, move, promote, denote headings and more Hyperlinks within vim-orgmode and outside (files, webpages, etc.) TODO list management Tags for headings Lists in alphanumeric and bullet item notation and checkbox support Basic date handling Export to other formats (via Emacs’ Org-Mode) Installation and Usage Installation and usage instructions are found in the file doc/orgguide.txt. License Information about the license is found in file LICENSE. Changelog All changes are found in file CHANGELOG.org

Org mode is plain text. Basic text editing in Org style may be done with any editor. Let us say those features to enter TODO or change state from TODO to DONE or PENDING, could work faster if then in other editor exists macro function. With macro functions you can pretty fast prepare basic Org functions. Folding headings is maybe something that cannot be easily implement in other editors. Vim has Org mode too https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode Those mobile editors usually do not have macro functionality. But as soon as you have editor with macros it is possible within some 30 minutes to make few macros to add tags, change TODO states, add SCHEDULED or DEADLINE stamps or similar basic features.

I use HN submissions as a better bookmark/log of what I've been reading that day (or previous day). Usually post things I might want to revisit later. I use browser bookmark folders only for links for private stuff e.g. fun+memes, cooking, curated lists of <FOO>, ... Also I maintain markdown files for documenting changes/tweaks and modifications made to various machines on my network. As a VI user I never looked at org-mode before. I'll probably do so in 2020 (https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode).

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

Wow, what i timing. Just found out org-mode thanks to bumping into Orgzly [1] and proffering it more then Joplin [2] due to local directory storage (synced with syncthing [3]). As a Vim user i am now trying vim-orgmode [4] and hope to have complete self hosting synced note taking solution... i will see if org-web fit's into this somehow...
