If it isn't then please post the name of that list when you find it. I started out using only lists too because they are exactly as you describe them. Eventually I wanted to attach metadata to the lists, and now I love headings. The case for Org-Mode only as a markup alone isn't very interesting because it is competing against everything from SGML to ASCIIDoc. When you throw in the community and infrastructure of tools and literature then Org-Mode wins. It takes some time for it all to sink in though. My gut reaction to learning Org-Mode (all aspects listed above) was recalling this quote from Eric Weisstein: "Created, developed, and nurtured by Eric Weisstein at Wolfram Research" [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/] Org-Mode makes it easy to do that with whatever document you are nurturing.
