Wonderful project, it seems I'm not the only one who was reluctant to switch to Emacs just for org-mode.

I'm at home with vim (10+ years + a finely tuned and pimped up ~/.vim/) and have used vimoutliner a lot, but it goes in the opposite way for me: org-mode is one of the reasons I'm considering giving emacs another chance :)

With viper it's almost like not switching :P

I disagree, Viper mode is a very thin imitation of a few Vim commands. Slightly too thin for my liking, even on the most compatible of modes :p

Besides, to really experience the benefits of Emacs you have to dive right in. There are many Emacs features I wish Vim had but I fear many of these diminish in value when taken out of their natural environment. The reverse can also be argued to a lesser extent.

Maybe take a look at this then: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Vimpulse but it all really matters how much and which way you use vim.

Oh cool, it'll be interesting to see if that makes a switch more compelling.

All good points, I find summarization especially useful.

In this case, since I've actually finished my degree, I just wanted to flick through a bunch of these on the train (without internet access) so it was useful to have an offline archive.

MongoEngine just brings some structure back to MongoDB to make it easier to work with and reduce bugs in your code.

This doesn't mean to say that it imposes strict mappings, you are still free to store and retrieve what you want, even change the data model at any time.
