To all who argue that Org is too tightly coupled to Emacs to consider working
with it outside of Emacs, I point to GitHub. The fact that GitHub natively
renders Org files "well enough" is a huge benefit to those of us who use Org.
It is also useful for gaining new users (assuming more users is a good thing).
Therefore, if other tools have the ability to do *something* with an Org file
(display most of it well enough, allow editing without breaking things, maybe
implementing a simple Babel interpreter for a few popular languages, whatever),
this would be A Good Thing.
For example, I'd contribute more to Stack Exchange sites if I could answer
using Org syntax rather than Markdown syntax. None of these 3rd party
implementations need to be comprehensive or perfect, just as the GitHub
renderer is neither complete nor perfect. But we all benefit from the GitHub
rendering.
