I like and plan to learn org-mode to extend the present use greatly, but
similar to Muse, its use is 'limited' to Emacs users while I've need to
share some docs (e.g. writing documentation for software application)
with non-Emacs users, so using more 'standardized' markup is a 'pro'
here.

Dunno more about Asciidoc, but it would be great if Pandoc
(http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) would have full parser for reST
'cause it represents any supported markup in 'native' state before doing
conversion and it even outputs to Docbook :-)

So, my main point of using reST is more 'standard' and lightweight input
markup with the plethora of output formats.


Sincerely,
Gour
