I can't compare them because I'm too unfamiliar with Org. I briefly looked at it when it first appeared but preferred Todo mode's UI to Org's, and I was already involved with adding features to Todo mode to suit my needs, so I didn't pursue Org further. > If their functionality is similar, then why to spend the effort on two > separate projects that are both part of emacs? I've only spent time and effort on Todo mode. Maybe there are some other people who use the old version and will find the new one useful, and perhaps others will too. There are lots of application domains for which Emacs has more than one package. Steve Berman
