Well said.

That is so.

In fact the properties, custom ID and else inside is mostly visually
disturbing me though it is necessary. Before knowing about Org I have
already had a system of planning, projects, tasks, and all that could
be related to people, groups and what other else things. This part of
Org that is dependant on meta data is better managed through
dedicated databases.

Temptation is brought through the usage of Org as there are not so
many choices beyond it. Org is meant to keep simple things
simple. Data being managed may easily grow into complex thing.
