Question: What benefit do you derive from using org mode format if you aren't editing it in Emacs, where you can collapse and expand?

...what do you mean... not in Emacs...

Real answer, though not who you were replying to: Org mode syntax is more appealing to me, particularly the wiki-style links. I liked it enough to use it before I used Emacs with vim-org but it was lacking so I'm happy enough editing with either Emacs on the desktop, in the browser (Github Wiki), or in Editorial (iPhone). Editorial actually does collapse/expand for Markdown so it would be nice to have that for .org files too, but I would put up with a lot of crap as long as I can work with my files in Emacs 10% of the time.
