you live in shell - curious what type of OS you're using for work and home.

  The only non shell tools I use are browsers and Steam, the latter one painfully mostly on Windows. Otherwise I mostly program, admin or devops around. Bash, git, vim, grep, awk, tmux, ssh are the tools I use most. Nowadays also a quite a lot of Ansible. But don't like it as much. You know, I spent nearly 10 years really learning all that stuff with the intention to use it the rest of my life. And to this point it seems to work out quite well. So no reason to learn other tools like Emacs, which would take up another few years to learn. Once you have a basic set of tools down it's more important to use it for value production.

    actually i use, vi, bash, git, grep, awk, ssh too. but emacs replaced my need for spreadsheets, calendars, todo lists, IDEs, and magit augmented my git experience. i hesitated for years on emacs, but 5 years ago i made the switch. i don't mean your setup is lacking - just open up mine )

      I tried, mostly because I really like the idea of git managed sources for all these. But it's hard to integrate both bash life and emacs life. And you can't see the stuff on your phone. So I stopped after a few weeks. Any suggestions for that?
