I switched to Emacs specifically because of all the Org mode love I'd read about. I've barely touched the surface of Org, thank you!

Org-mode is on my list of things I should probably learn better, but never seem to get around to. Here are some entries in that list:

  Emacs
  Regex
  Latex
  Bash/Terminal/Powershell
  Unicode
  APL/J/K
  Linear Algebra
  Category Theory

It's worth noting a great Android client for org-mode has been recently open sourced:

It was a little annoyance we did not have anything as good as this before.

Looks great but I personally prefer to take notes with jupyter notebook.

For TODO lists I prefer Asana, since it will send you e-mails/push notifications, and has a website + mobile app.

Can jupyter do tables and diagrams followed by code snippets in multiple languages?

I write lectures for university in org-mode. The PDF export (org -> LaTeX -> PDF) with org-beamer and a theme makes it a nice looking presentation. I can check into Git, can copy and paste layouts, have a great search and don't have to leave the keyboard (which over time has actually become quite a big deal for me).

Just wished Preview would show thumbnails in the TouchBar.

Yes. You can use cell magic to change the language for each cell and you can display HTML/latex output inline or just mix computations in with markdown. The only problem is that the editor is just a text box with annoying bracket matching instead of Emacs.

I keep dozens of org files on Github in public repos. Here are a few:
