I'm one of those who came to Emacs because of Org. I read an article in some
magazine (Linux Journal?) about Org and knew I had to try it out. Once I was
into using Org, Emacs took over more and more of my computing life. People who
use a non-free semi-implementation of Org may not even realize Emacs is the
software that made Org possible and that Emacs is so great, and I think that is
sad.
