Hello mailing list, This might be considered off-topic.
The question is the title: have you been able to convert many people to Emacs / org-mode? Are converts all programmers, or those versed in programming? -- Or have you converted non-programmers, e.g., anyone who edits text for a living? It's impossible for me to have a conversation these days without referring to org-mode. Since I use it for practically everything, there's no way to avoid raising the topic. However, I do find it difficult to convert people. I send them video captures showing off the features, give real-time demonstrations, etc., and offer to work them through the installation and lead them up the steep Emacs learning curve -- but thus far, I've only gotten a couple people to adopt it. And that after relentless advocacy. Anyway, apologies if this seems to clutter the already highly active mailing list. But I do think questions of proselytization (because we /are/ talking religion here) is important. 42
