As someone who used to use org-mode in the past, I can say that I've stopped using it, mainly cause it requires a lot of effort, the biggest advantage of org-mode is also it's biggest weakness, that's the headers and tags. It requires some effort learning those but on the other hand that's where the power of org-mode lies. I would have preferred if those headers, tags, etc. where not org-mode specific but more of a markdown extension that could be read and compiled by most markdown compilers like pandoc and others.
you can add the tags ":noexport:" (don't export the section) or ":ignore:" (don't export the header) to headers. which allows for a lot of headers / subsections. I have sometimes 8-9 level deep headers and export to only 2-3 level deep headers (good typography). It is in ox-extra.
I have come to prefer Org-mode, but hs a few shortcomings. For example, you need to choose between interactive or inline figures. Of course it is relatively easy to save the figure from an interactive Matplotlib window and incluse it in the org file just below the relevant cell, and this is what I do. But it is not a complete drop-in replacement.
Around 9:50 the key combo for editing the source block in a separate buffer window is: C-c ' (ctrl+c apostrophe).

Arg! My ears at the end. Please check the sound levels in the video and don't have quiet speech followed by very loud noise.
Could Mr Thibault Lestang post his dotfiles somewhere? It would be helpful for beginners.
Hi Paul, thanks for your message. We've put some reference links in the description. Hope it helps!
it looks more convenient than working with a jupyter notebook

thank you
It is not old - it is tested by time🤣
