Umm ... I have always associated org mode with powerusers because of the implicit learning curve of emacs. Tools like workflowy/logseq are dead simple because anyone who has ever used a bullet list can instantly get productive.
I know that logseq also supports org files, but I am not well versed enough with org to comment how well it stacks up against emacs.
