Yep. I’m STILL finding out new functionality in org-mode, several months on. It’s like some kind of weird TARDIS or something out of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy—simple in appearance (because it runs in a text editor), but seemingly infinite in what it can be made to do.

It’s also very nice to work with something that is 100% free/libre software, developed and maintained by a community as opposed to a single person or, worse yet, a company that hopes to “monetize” somehow.
