I started going down the org-mode rabbit hole when I was investigating emacs last year. Then I came across Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) and haven't looked back.
My Emacs config replaces the default 'find-file' with the 'find-file-at-point' mentioned in the article, so the keybinding is just C-x C-f.
I also modify it slightly to look for line-numbers and column-numbers, so pressing C-x C-f when the cursor is on '/home/chriswarbo/foo.txt:135:23' will open that foo.txt file, then navigate to line 135 and column 23.

Different people use org-mode in different ways. I use org-mode primarily for maintaining spreadsheets containing tables of data where the tables may be related to each other. As I enter new data into the tables or edit existing data, I may want to automatically recompute aggregate data pertaining to those tables. For example, I may want to recompute the totals or averages using the data in these tables. Further, I may want to compose new tables automatically based on the data in the existing tables.
This is the kind of spreadsheet management work I use org-mode for. Here is a simple example that illustrates some of the points I made in the previous paragraph: https://github.com/susam/lab/blob/main/emacs/org/total-of-to...
