This is one of (perhaps the biggest) selling > points for org mode. We may call it "plain text" and problem is not that we can open Org files with any editor as plain text, but in formatting. People format Org files in such ways that they are not readable, they may not make spacing where it would be otherwise required, in other words, plain text files do not look nearly as readable as for example RFC text, like this one: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1.txt -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
