Once you learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance a system in a way that fits your need, yes, good luck using another tool that you now need to learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance to use in a way that fits your needs, ha!

Well there's the teensy-weensy difference that emacs/org is designed with effective navigation and organization as two of its main purposes, while TeXmacs or LyX are built for different purposes and have no ambition of shifting their scope to navigation/organization.

Like... PowerPoint is Turing complete so I could just use that too, but there's a reason I don't use that for coding or project management and it's not just that I'm conservative...

Keep in mind that I did not mention either of those by name, you did, so you're debating yourself rather than me. I'm just saying that making a tool, any tool, work best for your use case doesn't mean you can't achieve the same result with another tool, or set of tools after similar customization etc.
