I am more positive here :-)

The seamless integration might be also true for MS OneNote, you're
probably right. However, there might be major things to add to the
list which OneNote is not able to handle in that combination.

Dependencies are not available except for full-blown
project-management software which do have their overhead. At least I
could not find anything satisfying yet. Please do tell me, which
task/todo-management system is able to do this in a reasonable way.

I think I know most tools out there, tried many, many, many of them
by myself over the previous decades. However, I can not know
everything - I know. As a result, I am trying this
collective/combined approach with this thread and (probably later
on) a Worg page.

I am confident that Org-mode has a number of USPs.

A absolutely agree on your list. On the one side, I tend to think
that we've got those lists already in various
feature-highlight-lists. On the other side, I am not aware of a list
of Org-mode USPs that *no* other tool provides.
