Org-mode is like md but has tables and more. Emacs will even run computation as a party of interpretation. GitHub accepts it in place of markdown.
Would you say it's worth considering in place of markdown for a non-emacs user? (I am curious to try emacs but I may not get to it anytime soon)
org-mode is awesome for many reasons, but the similarities/overlap with markdown are an incidental benefit. I wouldn't learn org-mode for that reason, however there are many other good ones that make it worthwhile. I've been using it for years for my own project management, tasks tracking, notes and many other things - it's one of those rare tools that can do many things incredibly well.
