I use Orgmode. A lot. It's my primary organisation method, as the General Manager for a small 3 person sub-company, as well as my household organisation.
I've always, unwittingly, organised myself via two systems:
1. Lists
2. Matrices
I love the tables in Orgmode [0]. They are intuitive, simple, and just beautifully done.
That said, the spreadsheet functionality is a different beast altogether. Even though it's the same interface as the tables, it adds an exponential layer of complexity, and separation from how most people view a spreadsheet. It's powerful, but a bit daunting, and I don't see many journalists being able to grok it.
