Explain the differences to VimOrganizer

[jceb]

The are a number of people asking about the differences vim-orgmode and VimOrganizer. The two plugins serve the same purpose although the approach is very different. This should be explained in the README and also in the regular documentation.

Can anyone say what the difference between the two? I read that VimOrganizer requires emacs on the backend, though I am not positive about it.

Hi raiesi - VimOrganizer uses Emacs for performing an export, e.g. to PDF. vim-orgmode does this as well. So you don't have to be worried about a possible dependency.

At least to programmers, the main difference to VimOrganizer is that it's written in VimL while vim-orgmode is mainly written in Python. For users VimOrganizer probably provides more functionality. Although I have to say that I never really used it.

Ha, thanks jceb. I was looking for just this information today.
