Yes, org works well because of the plain-text approach but only because it has the power of emacs behind it! Without emacs, org would not be anywhere as useful as it is. It's the whole customisation capability that makes it useful for as many people as it does. All other tools force you to conform to the decisions the authors of the tool made whereas, with emacs, I can customise almost everything that relates to my interaction with org. Simple example: I use evil in Emacs as I prefer a modal interface to alleviate RSI. I therefore do not actually use any of the default key bindings that come with org. For instance, ", e" invokes org-export-dispatch. ">" is org-meta-right. Etc. Actually, this reminds me of one problem area in org: the org export dispatcher has key bindings hard coded in ("l" for LaTeX, etc.). I wish I could customise these. My bugbear is ox-reveal that requires me to hit a shift key, something I prefer to avoid as much as possible. (I know the bindings come from the individual ox- files, not the dispatcher per se.) -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.90.1, Org release_8.3.3-597-gcaf66e
