One of pains is that the mobile-org doesn't work. I cannot even view my org file on iPhone.

Truly, the difficulty of getting your Agenda on the phone is one of the great frustrations of Org. I have an Android phone, and while it's useful for some things (making phone calls, wechat), its utility would easily be doubled by having my Org information on the phone.

I think the problem arises because most Org hackers are Emacs hackers, but writing apps is a totally different domain. I went at it once, full of beans, and was defeated by Java, and the general app ecosystem.

Each uptick in my emacs lisp ability has had an immediate effect across my entire computing environment, and that has made learning lisp a practical endeavor, despite my not really being a programmer. Learning to write Android apps... I'm going to need that once, perhaps twice, and it's not worth it.

As a Vim user, I wish I could have something like what I have heard of Org-Mode for Vim / Neovim. At the moment I just have a folder of Markdown files that I compile with gitit, it doesn't seem as nice though.

It's life changing, lol. Really take a weekend or two to get acquainted with it. (Fight through the emacs tidbits or use evil-mode). You will not regret it.

Am a vim user, who forced myself to learn/use Emacs just for Org-mode recently. It really is life changing.

Emacs assimilates everything to Borg mode as does org-mode. This just isn't the vim way of doing things. What are you trying to achieve and what is missing. There are a few org-mode like plugins, personal wikis, task managment tools around for vim.

Here[0] is a demonstration of a good set-up in org-mode. This was written in org-mode and generated the html file. You can tangle the source code[1] and try it. This had greatly helped me to get started in organizing everything.

One of the feature I like is time clocking[2] where in you time all everything that you do (including sleep![3]) and eventually review after a week/month/year, you can generate some analysis on what task took most of your time.

org-drill[4] helped me a lot when there are things that I need to memorize.

I used vim for one year before moving to emacs. Indeed, I can edit files faster in vim rather than emacs but I can get more stuffs than in emacs rather than vim because of org-mode. Therefore, I choose emacs for the reason that org-mode helps me organize everything.
