Can anyone who is more familiar with orgmode describe how it might play this role?

Emacs, full screen (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FullScreen https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FullScreen), auto-starting org-mode, and do everything you can in it (http://blog.vivekhaldar.com/post/3996068979/the-levels-of-emacs-proficiency http://blog.vivekhaldar.com/post/3996068979/the-levels-of-em...). It helps if you already use Emacs, such as writing software in it.
- drjesusphd 11y agoYeah there's my problem. I've heard wonderful things about orgmode, to the point that people think it's worth switching. But I'm a vim user and I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble. Trying to get a variety of opinions.
- lemonberry 11y agoI just switched from vim to emacs for org-mode. I use evil and the key mappings are very, very close. Give it a shot. It's really good. eLisp is kind of fun to play around with, I already grok that better than the vim language. A couple perks of the switch: org-mode, magit (wrapper for git), elisp is kind of fun and makes customizing emacs really approachable (subjective of course), I used to live in the commandline (bash, tmux, vim) but I've found that I navigate my system faster and better than before (buffers and registers). There's a steep learning curve, but being willing to read documentation is helpful. It's definitely been worth it for me. And I do think that conceptually thinking of emacs as an OS or interface to your computer rather than a text editor is helpful.
