Vimwiki does an essentially equivalent thing, and there are numerous other tools for other environments. Your favored tool is really not that special. Sorry. =)

(Me, I just use Dropbox and vimwiki, and occasionally push it to a private Hg repo on BitBucket.)

Vimwiki isn't in the same league as Org mode. Sorry. For example, how can I create and edit spreadsheets using Vimwiki?

Read the entire manual to understand Org mode's power. It has no equivalent that I know of, and I searched thoroughly before giving up and learning Emacs.

I've read it. Hell, I've used it, before I discarded emacs. Perhaps I should amend it with "unless you want to bend one tool to do the job of the others". Which I guess is half the point of emacs in general, so I apologize and retract my statement--it's quite special.

Have you actually used org-mode to say that these are "essentially equivalent", or do you just say this because your favored tool cannot possibly be worse than someone else's favored tool?

From what I've seen, vim people generally are not really interested in creating enormous extensions as the emacs people are, so if they actually created something similar in power and complexity, I would be really surprised and impressed.
