## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that brings Emacs Org Mode functionality to VS Code, supporting outlines, TODO lists, timestamps, and plain-text document authoring. It is written in TypeScript and distributed via the VS Code Marketplace.

## Use cases
- take plain-text notes with outlines in vscode
- manage todo lists in visual studio code
- edit org mode files without emacs
- promote and demote outline headings
- insert and modify timestamps in org files
- customize todo keywords for task tracking
- author documents with org markup in vscode

## When to choose
- you want Emacs Org Mode features inside VS Code
- you keep notes and TODO lists in plain text org files
- you need outline editing and TODO cycling in the editor

## When to avoid
- you need full Emacs Org Mode features like agenda, capture, or babel
- you use editors other than VS Code
- you need actively developed cutting-edge org features, as the project is in maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, markdown, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: org-mode, vscode-extension, plain-text, todo-lists, note-taking, emacs
