- Not everyone like EMacs , i am not going to open up another editor just to use orgmode .. it needs a lot of preparations.

- Orgmode format itself is a mess , it only good because Emacs's orgmode extension is very good working with Orgmode.

What would be really good is a Markdown-Compatible Todo System , with notes linking and tagging , and status/progress integration.

There was Dandrite, it was quite close to what needed but that project was abandoned.
