+1, the same with me.  Although I do use some non-free-as-defined-by-FSF
software.  (Apparently, to be fully FSF-compliant you shouldn't say
"open".  Assuming that you *want* to be FSF-compliant, that is;-).  BTW:
from now on I'm going to use the terms: "free-as-defined-by-FSF" and its
negation, because I do not want to borrow terms from an entity whose
philosophy I do oppose.)

+1 again.

I might want to use Orgzly.  (I do use Evernote occasionally, btw; yes,
it is terrible.)

BTW, one more question: what about all the emails about dropbox-based
syncing of Emacs config or Org files?  Why didn't they get banned?  All
are equal, but some are more equal than others?

+1!
