Are you more of a vim person? If so, spacemacs might be something to use. Sure, it is slow and buggy in some rarely-used layers, but other than that it is a really neat experience. The org mode layer sees quite some love, and works well.
- CJefferson 10y agoI tried spacemacs for a month, but the problem is reading vim guides doesn't quite work, reading emacs guides doesn't quite work, and there isn't good enough spacemacs documentation.
- ane 10y agoYou can try evil-mode which is just the vi interface, Spacemacs is more of a packaged solution that happens to include the vi interface. Having used vi interfaces in other editors (VS, IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans, Atom, Sublime, VSCode, etc.), based on my experiences, evil gives the most accurate vim experience.
- flukus 10y agoThe other editors don't have modes in the same way the emacs does though. What I find frustrating is if your in the package manager mode for example, then your keybindings break. Spacemacs improves this for some modes, but it still won't allow custom bindings in any/most of them.
- kqr 10y agoFor this reason, I found it much easier to get started with Emacs and manually including evil mode in my configuration.
- Veen 10y agoI used spacemacs for a while just so I could use Org mode. But I just couldn't adapt to it. I love Vim in the console, and the Spacemacs experience is just different enough that it didn't gel with how I work.
- patrickdavey 10y agoIf you're a vim person, there is vimwiki... it's not the same as orgmode (I believe, never having tried it), but it's not bad.
