I have tried a bit VimOrganizer a few months ago.
At the time, I needed more and turned to emacs to get it.
But as a Vim user, I get so frustrated but having to use another
editor I'm not familiar with (I don't want to start flames, people
need the right to choose, but me, I'm used to Vim). So many times, I
have "yy" on the line I'm on or be scared everytime I press the "ESC"
key by reflex.

And I see that you keep improving it so I just wanted to thank you for
keeping this project on and I hope that once the development branch is
more stable (you wrote on the 18/08 that we shouldn't use it, so I
wait ;-)) I can give it another try and finally get rid of emacs :-)

Theseus -- Thanks, I would like for it to get to point where it's a
decent alternative to Org-mode. Hopefully it's getting close for a
lot of uses. Part of the task is made easier by approach I'm using of
calling out to an emacs server for lots of functions: all the
various types of export, code block evaluation, table evaluation,
"tangling" for literate programming, and more. With an emacs server
(which is really just an instance of any Emacs) running all this works
just as fast as if you were actually in Emacs, and leverages all the
work that's being done developing the Org-mode code in emacs.

I'll try to remind you when 'development' branch gets to where I want
it. It's actually not bad now, especially on Windows. I need to do
some testing/fiddling with the calls to Emacs on the Linux version and
get a bit more documentation done . . . . While I basically have
no documentation done, the new development version does have an 'Org'
menu that shows up in GVim, and which you can use to discover a lot of
the functionality.

Also, new hyperlinking and "narrow region" functions make use of the
'Utl' and 'nrrwrgn' (the one by Christian Brabandt) plugins that you
can get at vim.org.

Regards,

Herb
