However, what I find frustrating about them is that your now dependent on another bit of technology - a database of some type with all the issues that adds - installation, upgrades, maintenance, backups etc. The thing I like best about Org is that in the end, it is just a collection of plain text documents. I haven't had the challenges mentioned by others. My org files are broken into directories and I have a directory hierarchy and I use things like org id and other add ons to extend. I also have started playing around with org-roam, which I find to be quite interesting - especially the biity it has to handle bidirectional links etc. I also wanted to mention another Emacs project which is quite interesting and has actually been around a lot longer than org, Hyperbole. I've not got a URL handy, but I'm sure you can find it with google. It is an interesting system which pretty much makes everything possible in a document a hyperlink. Provides some very interesting ways of linking documents. My preference has always been to 'do my own thing'. I tend to look at other information management approaches and cherry pick the bits which I like and then replicate them in org. I don't find org as limiting as others seem to, but I'm also quite happy to add in my own elisp to tweak it the way I want it to be - thats why I love emacs. -- Tim Cross
