You have all nice good points, thank you.

My confusion comes from the below advertised liberties:

- Org Mode 

- Your life in plain text

- A GNU Emacs major mode for convenient plain text markup — and much more.

And so all the time I have expected Org to be very liberal. I could
write it in any mode, any editor, and I could still use it back in
Emacs.

Special stuff as I understood it since beginning is just header,
properties or tags and tables and special blocks. Everything else
should be liberal. Using RET as newline, yes. This is only how I was
hooked onto Org.

Side notes:

Personally I would like Org to be either rigid or not rigid and
liberal. It is either one of those. Indentation by default is
nowhere. Neither rigid or not rigid as it is not mature feature.

It is hard to express me. I have given examples when indentation is
not following with itself. But if all other functions are following
nicely with indentation AND bunch of users seek that, why not.

When copying subtrees into different headings, identation is not
always following nicely. When demoting upmoting headings, is not
following nicely.
