I used org-mode for a while, but I just don't like emacs to be honest. Especially on Windows (which I'm forced to use at work)... my experience it the plugins are just not written with Windows in mind, doing stuff like hard-coding link logic with unix syntax.

Also, at least for my use case which is to find random notes I took about stuff 2 years before and that's hidden God knows wheres, I find the way Zim does it to be superior because it allows fuzzy searching on a note basis.

For example: you can't remember how to kill and recreate a new default-vm to fix docker-machine, you search "default vm", and it will find all the files that have both "default" and "vm" in them, even if they're not on the same line.
