Wow, thanks for the in-depth reply, I'll definitely check out emacs!

  NP. I'll admit to being an emacs evangelist. But I can tell you what I like about it, and it's a quality you can find in other systems: It's fully, and easily, extensible (once you learn the language, emacs lisp in this case). I use Visual Studio at work for C# projects. Extending it is a non-trivial thing. If I just want to change a simple behavior of the editor, it's non-obvious where to start, and it's probably not as easy as writing a simple 3-line function and putting it in a configuration file. Emacs, vim, Sublime (ok, no experience with it, but it seems easy from what I've seen), and others reduce this down to: Create the function or functions Put them in a specific file or the file in a specific directory At most reload the whole editor, but more likely just tell it to refresh its plugins or to execute that bit of code org-mode, for me, is just a very, very useful tool that covers a lot of use-cases for me, and works across each OS that I use (Linux, Windows, macOS). But it's always worth exploring to find what works for you. If nothing else, you'll have "wasted" your time learning how to use emacs, and should you find yourself "stuck" in it, you won't be lost in the chords.
