I'm currently trying to setup mobileorg + dropbox to sync with my windows machines and my iphone, and I've never used emacs (although I can grok vim). I'll try to post a writeup when I finish it.
I'm coming to try mobileorg after not liking things/omnifocus being too mac-oriented, hating onenote for being too windows-oriented (yes, I attempted to use it for todo), and not liking remember the milk for charging the same price as flickr. Google tasks isn't bad, but I disliked it's webapp-style popup in gmail, nor the widget-style apps it has. The canvas thing looks interesting though.
For basic todo list stuff I realized need something that can be easily made to support a different OS/platform, and work natively (i.e. no webapps).
OneNote is a good piece of software, IMO. I keep majority of my notes there (but I started using it long before I ever saw Emacs or heard about Org Mode). I was thinking about migration, but some of my notes consist of drawings and images pasted between text - I have no idea how to move something like that to Org Mode, or make such notes there in the future.
I agree. My problem is that I'm unfairly hellbent on any notes/task management stuff being cross-platform, or having an open format. I wanted to make onenote a central place for notes, drawings, etc. But I stopped once office 2011 arrived for mac WITHOUT onenote support.
This is usually where one suggests evernote as a viable alternative, but I feel like they butchered much of the UI in the latest version, namely the fact that tagging is way less intuitive in the latest versions.
