Nick I started doing the same thing a year ago and I was very nervous about getting too abstract with all the tooling and code and writing. It's challenging—and I definitely take breaks to really feel the difference—but it is so, so worth it.
I do it more with emacs and self-made CLIs, but I think the person choosing the path is the right way. It melds it perfectly to your tasks and mind.
- nickjj 8y agoGlad to hear it's working out for you. I'm pretty content with this current set up but I'm always learning, so I have to ask, what made you choose Emacs in the end? Was it org mode exclusively, a general disinterest in Vim keybindings or something else?
- flocial 8y agoNot the poster above but emacs' evil mode has really good vim emulation but the yak shaving rabbit hole goes much deeper. Emacs isn't stellar when it comes to large files and long lines although that's mainly for code and not plain text.
