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.
