I always thought vim and emacs where normal and everything else is the
exception ;)

I'm not aware of any editor capabale of that.  The best I can come up
with is to use markdown (or docx) as an exchange format and to convert
it back to org locally using pandoc.  That way you can at least continue
to use emacs and org, while your collaborators could use Writemonkey,
Word or something similar.

It's not a great solution, but since doing the right things
(i.e. teaching them emacs) seems out of the question, it's qutie likely
as good as it gets.

Cheers,
Albert
