My sentence says it all, but if that is not clear, consider: EXAMPLE 1: This is a [[test]] link. * test EXPORT OF EXAMPLE 1: This is a 1 link. EXAMPLE 2: #+OPTIONS: num:nil This is a [[test]] link. * test EXPORT OF EXAMPLE 2: This is a test link. > What about [[Link][link]]? That makes Org documents hard to read in *plain text*, that is without the "descriptive links" fontification. Here is my note again, compare: EXAMPLE 1: Hard-to-read, unhelpful markup: The set of [[Cellular membrane][cellular membrane]]-bound [[Organelle][organelle]]s inside of the [[Eukaryotic cell][eukaryotic cell]] that work together on the synthesis and distribution of [[Protein][protein]]s and [[Lipid][lipid]]s. EXAMPLE 2: Lightweight, helpful markup: The set of [[cellular membrane]]-bound [[organelle]]s inside of the [[eukaryotic cell]] that work together on the synthesis and distribution of [[protein]]s and [[lipid]]s. > Judging from your example, I am not sure if it is an actual problem > with Org mode.

For me, this is not only "an actual problem with Org" but the biggest problem, and the only big problem, I have with Org. As a markup language, Org is "99% there" in having some of the *most practical* plain text [[link]]s available, but then falls short on case sensitivity, ending up with the exact opposite. Now, I could use descriptive links, which hide the [[Wart][wart]] behind fontification tricks, but that would not solve my problem. Why? I need to use other plain text tools, such as Git, with my densely linked Org documents.
