<h2 class="chapter">2 Target Audience</h2>
<p>Org-roam is a tool that will appear unfriendly to anyone unfamiliar with Emacs
and Org-mode, but is also extremely powerful to those willing to put effort in
mastering the intricacies of the tools. Org-roam stands on the shoulders on
giants. Emacs was first created in 1976, and remains a top tier tool for editing
text and designing textual interfaces. The malleability of Emacs allowed the
creation of Org-mode, an all-purpose plain-text system for maintaining TODO
lists, planning projects, and authoring documents. Both of these tools are
incredibly vast and require significant time investment to master.
</p>
<p>Org-roam assumes basic familiarity with these tools. It is not difficult to get
up and running with basic text-editing functionality, but one will only fully
appreciate the power of building Roam functionality into Emacs and Org-mode when
the usage of these tools become more advanced.
</p>
<p>One key advantage to Org-roam is that building on top of Emacs gives it
malleability. This is especially important for note-taking workflows. It is our
belief that note-taking workflows are extremely personal, and there is no one
tool that&rsquo;s perfect for you. Org-mode and Org-roam allows you to discover what
works for you, and build that perfect tool for yourself.
</p>
<p>If you are new to the software, and choose to take this leap of faith, I hope
you find yourself equally entranced as Neal Stephenson was.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that
the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply
makes everything else vanish. Neal Stephenson, In the Beginning was the
Command Line (1998)
