I was just looking at the Org mode web site and thought this edit might
contribute to the discussion.
This text at the top of Org mode web site:
Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.
Org-mode is useful for
- Organising projects, maintaining TODO lists and calendars
- Creating high quality formatted documents
- Keeping notes
- Literate programming and Reproducible Research

This phrase is also what first comes to my mind when I try to explain
org-mode to others.
I describe Org-mode to people using something like: «Org-mode is a
very large box of LEGO bricks. What it does for you? It depends on
the bricks you use and how you combine them. It adopts to your
requirements.»

Org-mode is a set of processors that work in the background of Emacs to
convert your text into action and your chaos into structure. With the
help of those processors, almost anything you type while using Org-mode

abuse the outline syntax (one of the most common beginner mistakes IMO).
