Hi EKR - I am a very lightweight user of both Leo and org-mode - for me the killer dimension of org-mode is the Agenda view with the integrated diary and the ability of org-mode to throw up reminder dialogues. For me at least todo lists tend to be dead letter unless they reach out to me. The ability to hold todo items and diary items together is the gold and means EMACS is the first thing I run - just before Leo. While we are on the topic of what keeps us in different places Auctex is probably the other thing or was the other thing that kept me on Emacs however I now use Scrivener MMD compiled to Latex - I feel bad about this. Scrivener has lots of nice features but I know that Leo would be better it's just a matter of the set up learning curve. A really easy Latex set up would be another winner.
