Hi Bastien,

there is a thing WRT Emacs and org-mode seeing not mentioned so far:

org-mode developed a lot of useful things, thanks all for that.

However, seen from main stuff, it's somehow written around the corner,
parallel or not fitting into the other. The use of hard-coded stars for example 
is hardly the state of art in a general-purpose editor.

AFAIS org-mode is composed of at least three major areas:

- the org-mode strictly spoken, with it's date-time and planning stuff.
- literal programming with it's exporters, which is probably of most interest 
here
- basic fixes and enhancements of common Emacs features, tables, footnotes etc.

Would wish the both last items seeing back-ported into major Emacs without need 
of org-mode.

Cheers,

Andreas
