I think this was a parsing error.

Your parent:

Alternative construction:

Emacs is cross platform and org-mode works on plain files. Therefore Dropbox or any similar software will provide you with cross platform syncing.

I guess the point was that it's still not the same thing. Sure you can do a whole lot of things with emacs if you configure it properly, but configuring everything to work together takes much more time than a complete feature set that is already included.
