@ctietze @publicvoit Yeah, putting time, energy, and content in Org-mode via Emacs is totally a form of lock in. It's maybe more benevolent than other kinds of lock-in, but you're still "stuck" with Emacs and some specifically-formatted "plain?" text .org files.

I happen to love and prefer Emacs and those weird .org files, though! 😆

But really, if any of them went away, I'd just take a few days and move to something else. It would hurt, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

@jbaty @ctietze @publicvoit Org-roam might even be a "somewhat real" lock-in, as nodes and id-links might not be that easily converted to something else. It is not just:

find ./ -iname "*.org" -type f -exec sh -c 'pandoc "${0}" -o "${0%}.MD"' {} \;

😉

(everything else I completely agree with)
