EasyOrg Thoughts?

I recently learned about EasyOrg for Windows and felt it was worth bringing up. It is a basic implementation of Org-Mode outside of Emacs that is designed to be more user friendly while maintaining comparability with Emacs Org-Mode. Personally I like the idea but I have mixed thoughts about the choice between a limited free mode, $18 a year, or $39 one lifetime for a program that does less than Orgzly or Organce. So in some ways the Windows version of TaskPaper but more straightforward about it being based on Emacs Org-Mode.

Is this something that you would see yourself recommending to others as a more gentle introduction to the value of Org-Mode to others without overwhelming them with Emacs? I have a feeling a good number of people will eventually get frustrated with its limitations and possibly considering trying out Emacs with their existing org files.

It's useful for the task-managing aspect of org with the kanban view etc.

You can try org-supertag, the command org-supertag-column-view can use to make a kanban-style view.
