Emacs is a complex tool that itself can take a semester or more to get
productive in. I know I myself tried for years to move to it and was only
able to after learning vim bindings pretty well, and starting to use
Spacemacs. Forcing students to use emacs, much less org - especially in
this day and age where students *will* ask online, and *will* get a
response of "no one actually uses that" - will probably meet with a ton of
resistance.
