There were already some good suggestions, I think. And furthermore the
example isn't bad either as Org mode actually *does* help you wash your
car ;)

I don't have a concrete idea for the sentence but when I think about why
Org mode should win Neal Stephenson comes to my mind:
emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same
way that the noonday sun does the stars
Replace `Emacs' with `Org mode' and `editing' with `organising' and you
have the reason why Org mode should win. Maybe Org mode's singularity in
its area and the fact that it's so much ahead of any other organising
tool can be cast in a 140 character phrase for the jury?!
