I would like to try any of these if I am not so addicted to org-mode. I can't live without emacs despite that I hate its slowness very much.

I used to be really addicted to hardcore code completition and refactorings for Java in IntelliJ, it just felt like there is no other way. I had the same feeling when I was considering Sublime while using VIM, I thought there's no other way to edit text than the way VIM does it. And both time it paid off that I gave another editor a try :)

Learning a new tool is learning a new way to think. It always pays off.

I can't vouch for it, but Sublime does have a port of org-mode: https://bitbucket.org/rchl/sublime_orgmode/overview

Might be worth a try.

I tried it. It is good. It supports lists, with checkboxes, and completion ([1/3]). It supports some links.

It does not support tables. You can not reorder entries. It does not support code blocks. You can fold, but you can not narrow (i.e. all headlines stay there, but content is folded away). Your favorite keyboard shortcuts are not there (though you can change that easily).

As much as I like Sublime Text, I am more productive in Emacs.

Also tried it. The editor itself is great and very fast, unfortunately the org-mode clone is much less than the original.

Try Emacs with evil mode for Vim emulation. It doesn't get better than this. It is almost like having a lisp-based Vim.
