The day jazz will reach the masses is when the reviews about it do not even mention the word "black".

It's created by emacs users, for emacs users, it should absolutely mention that word everywhere and stress its origins, it's already widely adopted and who really cares if somebody who is so superficial that he rejects a superior solution because it originated in a text editor he doesn't like doesn't use it?

Indeed, and most of them don't nowadays!

Of course, when you are explaining the history of org-mode you can mention it. Or when you are explaining how to org-mode with emacs. But to promote org-mode as a generic markup language (which I think is a very good idea), any mention of emacs, even indirect, should be best omitted.

I love emacs and I like to use it, no idea who are you taking about. Or was it sarcasm?
