First, it’s markdown based. That’s probably not an advantage for you, but it’s a syntax people are used too.

Secondly, syncing is built in. Sure you could use git on your org mode file, but that’s requires effort.

Thirdly, this handles attachments and images.

Fourth, the user does not have to learn EMacs.

Fifth, it runs on phones.

So it does have advantages for some people. If your already an orgmode master, it may mean less for you.
