What makes orgmode great is currently emacs only:

- Babel, for literate programming, similar to notebooks, which is to me the most important feature - agenda - all the key bindings helpers to insert / set / move things around

Most of the basic features are available with any editor, markdown and pandoc.

- text files, so git-able - lightweight markup - export to anything

I have been using emacs for org mode only, for a decade or so. Org mode is a lot more than a note taking app.

I would recommend using doom as a starting point for vim users willing to try org, as it sets good defaults to get right into the good stuff.
