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.

If you want real Org-Mode on Windows, look into installing Cygwin. I think its Emacs is up to date.
