Well, it really is. Org-mode is absolutely amazing for anything that can be [even vaguely] expressed in the outline format - anything hierarchical - personal notes, todo-lists, documentation, wiktionary, dictionary and thesaurus entries, comment threads - yes, I read Hackernews and Reddit in Org-mode, file-system entries, plot outlines and story structures, presentation outlines, financial planning and budget breakdowns, travel itineraries and packing lists, maintenance schedules, decision trees, etc.
Even things like .yaml or python files - sometimes converting indent-based stuff to org-mode can give you better perspective of things, because Org-mode has numerous different ways to search and express the data - someone who's never experienced using sparse trees which work like "smart filters" temporarily hiding everything except the parts matching your search, while preserving the hierarchy, may have no idea how great it is - this entire idea of this abstraction.
It only sounds "limiting", in practice - it is supremely flexible system. It makes me really sad that I have not discovered this flexibility sooner in my life.
