Org mode is plain text. Basic text editing in Org style may be done with any editor. Let us say those features to enter TODO or change state from TODO to DONE or PENDING, could work faster if then in other editor exists macro function. With macro functions you can pretty fast prepare basic Org functions. Folding headings is maybe something that cannot be easily implement in other editors.
Vim has Org mode too https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode
Those mobile editors usually do not have macro functionality. But as soon as you have editor with macros it is possible within some 30 minutes to make few macros to add tags, change TODO states, add SCHEDULED or DEADLINE stamps or similar basic features.
- d0mine 6y agoOrg mode has a lots of features. Many people likely use just a small subset of features but it is also likely that these subsets differ for different people.
- rcdwealth 6y agoI like simple outline mode. In the Emacs development version it folds now with TAB on the heading, so that is maybe one of major options. I could insert "TODO" but is not necessary. Org integrates many things together. But it is not my main note taking application. I am using PostgreSQL for note taking and exporting assignments, tasks, etc. from the database into the Org mode. It is quite different workflow. Org is not collaborative, database is collaborative, redundant, it offers way easier development then trying to handle database things by using text. By the way, people speak "Org mode is plain text", that is was back in time, today Org mode is everything else but plain text.
