So you can organize them as you see fit, sync them, version them, etc. You can store all your notes in one big file, in different files under the same parent folder or spread them across your whole system. Anyhow, you can always link them together.

It uses a markup language akin to markdown, that you can edit using any editors. Emacs is of course the preferred editor, since it also provides helpers functions to insert content, links, tables, etc.

Org mode syntax is richer and more ergonomic than markdown within emacs though, with support for dates, tables, clickable links, etc.

Metadata are also known as properties and can be added to the whole document or a subtree

Org mode provides good features for writing long documents, such as thesis, book, documentation, etc.

As org mode doesn't push any organization on you, you are free to write everything in a single big document, or split it in multiples parts and then linking and even including, like you would do when coding.

As org mode is built on emacs, there are also numerous features to help you search, jump and navigate your content.
