Looks interesting. Since the README is minimal, some questions:

Is the intent to use the same format as, or otherwise interoperate with, org-mode for emacs?

Also, worth comparing with vimoutliner? (http://vimoutliner.org)

It looks like it uses the same format. At the end of first video[1], he shells out to an emacs server to format the .org file as html.

When I was looking for a vim-orgmode, I found viki/deplate :

I found it quite confusing but it seems to take much inspiration from org-mode, is mature, and integrates with TVO (the vim outliner).

Wonderful project, it seems I'm not the only one who was reluctant to switch to Emacs just for org-mode.

I'm at home with vim (10+ years + a finely tuned and pimped up ~/.vim/) and have used vimoutliner a lot, but it goes in the opposite way for me: org-mode is one of the reasons I'm considering giving emacs another chance :)

With viper it's almost like not switching :P

I disagree, Viper mode is a very thin imitation of a few Vim commands. Slightly too thin for my liking, even on the most compatible of modes :p

Besides, to really experience the benefits of Emacs you have to dive right in. There are many Emacs features I wish Vim had but I fear many of these diminish in value when taken out of their natural environment. The reverse can also be argued to a lesser extent.

Could someone explain what "Org" mode is? The readme is pretty sparse.

wow, i left vim for emacs 3 years ago solely because of org-mode. If this matures i might go back

I left vim for emacs solely because of how much nicer emacs lisp is than scripting stuff in vim: https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer/blob/master/ftplugin/o....

With the introduction of additional data structures (lists, dictionaries that can also be used for prototype-based programming) in vim7, I don't think vimscript is that bad. And you can also use python/ruby/perl/tcl/scheme/lua/whatever when you have the proper version of vim.

I agree that vim scripting is crap but hjkl for navigation is just so addictive

Don't think that goes well in a text editor...

Also, how will I keep joking about emacs bloat?
