He mentions that the key factor in him choosing to try out emacs is orgmode. I truly think orgmode is today's killer app for emacs. (A killer app is the one app needed to make people pick up the tech - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application .) I have given 9 tech talks so far in my career - and I've written every talk in orgmode. I've outlined training for support people in orgmode. I like to use it to organize my work and notes on things I'm studying as well. My next big project is to write a book using it. Check out orgmode, learn what other value emacs creates, and consider adding emacs to your toolbelt as well. Some things I've been using emacs for: - text editing - writing and running Python code and tests - writing .tex files for LaTeX, previewing the pdfs *in* emacs - erc - an IRC chat client - subshells - orgmode, of course I know others use it for - email - newsgroups - web browsing I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of the things I can do with it, and I feel like emacs will be with me forever, so I want to use it to replace my desktop gui operating system, to the greatest extent possible.
