Simplicity: At its core, Org-mode is a simple outliner for note-taking and list management. You can learn the basics for using it in five minutes. This may be all you need, and Org-mode will not impose more complex features on you.
Portability: Org files are plain text. You can view and edit them in any editor, or add and extract data with custom-made scripts. Your data will never be locked into an obscure or proprietary data format. Org-mode runs in Emacs, which is available for nearly every platform.
Depth: Org-mode will not let you down when you need more than a simple outline. The full feature set is both broad and deep, easy to access, but unobtrusive. The typical answer to "Can it do X?" is "Yes!".
Flexibility: Org-mode is like a Swiss army knife. People use it for Getting Things Done (GTD), as a Day Planner, as a Notebook, for Web and PDF Authoring, and much more.
Support: Org-mode is documented extensively, and many tutorials put spotlights on particular features. Org-mode is supported by an active mailing list where questions are answered quickly and effectively.
It's free!: Org is open source software, it is free, like Emacs.

Worg

Worg, created by Bastien Guerry, is a setup to allow users to jointly edit a number of Org-mode files containing documentation about Org-mode, including the Org Mode FAQ and Tutorials. Worg is similar to a wiki in that allows community to edit the contents. However, since it uses a distributed version control system, you do not have to be online while editing it. If you'd like to contribute to Worg, please go to the Worg page, and start from there.
