Well, I guess this depends on what you label as developers and/or
whether it is just developers you are concerned with.  I manage projects
which consist of coordinating teams of researchers, developing
proposals, writing code, writing articles, holding meetings, writing
progress reports, etc.  org helps tremendously in keeping track of all
of these things.  I tend to have one org file for any given project.

Fine.  Maybe it's all about presentation then.  I don't see any conflict
between org and emacs generally.  But, then again, I use evil ;-)

For me, the key is that I can work on all project related aspects in one
document for each project.  YMMV, of course.
