Indeed, and most of them don't nowadays!

> It's created by emacs users, for emacs users, it should absolutely mention that word everywhere and stress its origins

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.

> 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?

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