Yes, there's a great blog post that describes how this functionality is really helpful to manage your life as lots of little spreadsheets [1].
For me that's the true advantage of Org over Markdown. It has timestamps, spreadsheets and links with citations (e.g. a DOI link type). Plus the ability to get programmatic document views using org-agenda. I can manage my whole life in a really minimal and uncomplicated way.
Of course, you can develop a really fancy Org setup. But I think a minimal one, with these features and defaults is really good enough. Plus, not hard to learn.
