I think the OP is far from saying what you are implying. He is not advocating for changing text editor or installing any plugins. Just recommends trying out org mode. I think is very valid. I’ve known many many people (in the order of hundreds) that use vi for editing in general but emacs for other tasks, e.g. org mode, sbcl repl, etc. I think the suggestion ist just to give org mode a try. No need to feel offended or pushed to leave your favorite editor. At the end, is all about personal preference.

To quote the OP:
I would encourage everyone to try out emacs with org-mode. It takes some time to get used to the editor and its keybindings...
He's literally recommending that everyone who doesn't use emacs should install and use a different text editor.

I see this just as someone being genuinely enthusiastic about their own approach, and trying to convince people out of that enthusiasm, to make them experience the same happiness they are getting from it.
I think most of us here are old enough to know not to take recommendations from some dude on the internet as obligations, which, for me, just leaves the enthusiasm between the lines.
