+When creating links between org documents, it's better to create and use unique ids rather than search for a headline, because that headline could change.

 If we enable this, emphasis markers will be hidden for a more word processor feel.  This has the downside of meaning you have to delete a hidden character to get rid of bold or italic text.  I don't have much of a problem with seeing the emphasis markers so i'm willing to put up with any aesthetic shortcomings for a better user experience.  The package org-appear solves this by hiding them, but showing them when the point is over them, but i don't think having a whole package just for that is worth it.
