I have been using org-mode for nearly two decades. Org-mode itself has existed for 22 years (beating markdown by 1 year!). For something as important as an archival format, I wouldn't base my decisions on the vagaries of the latest trends.
org is timeless for sure! Personally I've been using emacs since the 80's. But as the developer of a personal knowledge management application I was hoping that an ecosystem of specialized, easy to use, tools based on org would emerge.
BrainTool is a browser extension for managing tabs and bookmarks. It saves your data in an org file. One feature is to allow an item to be marked as a TODO. For me personally I then integrate my BrainTool.org file into my overall org workflow and see that TODO in my org-agenda. But ideally a naive BrainTool user would be able to see that task in a tool like Todoist or whatever.
For a while there it seemed like there was some momentum!
