So, I have too much time on my hand today and philosophized over the usage of emacs for a complete schedule, to-do and note taking replacement via org-mode. I'm using org-mode for my diary for years now and thought about to expand usage.
There it is:
Table of Contents

2 Conclusion
Why should I use it? It's fast, everything together in emacs, secure.
Why shouldn't I use it? Offline, not much Android software, complicated, not cloud compatible and shareable with other non-emacs users

2.1 Decision
While I love emacs and it feels simply good to organize everything in emacs, I don't see any real value over using Google Docs / Calendar / Sheets / Keep. If you need a quick, uncomplicated online access and collaboration, it's not quite the choice for me.
However, I'll keep using emacs org-mode for my personal diary which is kept offline and secure only on my computer. I see no better way with so many powerful features if you want to keep something safely off the internet.
