Org format is reasonably intuitive (so is markdown).
But org's real power comes from org-mode and the rest of Emacs. Being able to use it as PIM, as a quick way to write documents and export them, as a way to take notes, the keystrokes which are almost automatic for any Emacs user etc.
This is really why it shines. I don't see much value for it as just a markdown format outside Emacs.
