I actually found Org Mode accidentally because the folding / unfolding behaviour is copied in the app workflowy https://workflowy.com/features/

I moved my note taking to spacemacs https://www.spacemacs.org/ and then I moved to a standard emacs install with a minimal init.el

The magic for me with org-mode is the org-keyword states, time stamps, org-agenda, and fold/unfold.

Once you are dialed in to your keyboard shortcuts you can spend hours in emacs without touching your mouse, writing, thinking, and the ergonomic to organise those thoughts are just great.

I will say I still use vscode for actual coding, and I prefer the multi line / multi cursor visual editing in vscode over Evil/Vim visual mode multi line editing.
