I wouldn&#x27;t recommend org-mode for writing professional documents. It is more unstable than any other major piece of software I&#x27;ve used. I use it daily, but not for writing. Things get changed in each release, the documentation is rarely in sync, and in a lot of cases major changes are not documented at all.<p>I learned the hard way. I wrote some presentations using org-mode. Then they changed the exporters without updating the documentation. It would be especially problematic to write an academic article in org-mode, because you might have to return a year or two later, and that&#x27;s not when you want to find out how much has changed since you last worked on the paper.
