When I moved from Planner/Muse to Org, the ability to define custom markup
with <something>...</something> is the only thing I missed as well as the
ability to easily toggle between hide and show the markup (I thing it was
C-c C-l, but I'm not sure). This was a small thing to pay considering
everything else org-mode offered in exchange, but it would be nice to have
thi flexibility in org.
