Good points, especially if you’re trying to get into programming anyway :)
Out of curiosity, could I ask how often you’re at a computer that you need the functionality of org-mode which doesn’t run emacs? I can’t really think of an occasion when I’d need the functionality that wouldn’t be my own computer. I’ve also run emacs successfully on Linux, Win, and OS X.
I keep my personal org-mode file on my OS X partition and edit it both from Linux and OS X (I keep it on OS X because Linux can read non-journaled HFS+, but OS X doesn’t read EXT4 and is touch with EXT2/3).
Lastly, I’ll actually often use git between work and home. I pull from either when I start up, edit my stuff, and then commit and push when I’m done.
I ask about the functionality because you can open the file with any text editor on any computer if you just need to get into your data here and there. You could also add headlines manually pretty easily. Again, you might have a far different use case than I do. I just can’t think of needing to access my org-mode file frequently from, say, a public library or a friend’s computer.
