It is an extremely powerful tool when you want to write anything that is not necessarily primarily programming-related, though it absolutely can be! Org can be a replacement for anything similar to LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice Calc, and LibreOffice Impress. It is a much more powerful (and older) version of Markdown which can be exported to LaTeX and HTML at least, rendering writing web pages and technical, scientific documents much simpler than writing manually HTML and LaTeX code, especially when a single document source is meant to be exported for both formats.
