Seriously? Does org mode - and particularly the fundamentals - really change that much and that regularly? And if it does, what's the point of learning it in the first place?
- dpbriggs 6y agoIt doesn't change that frequently. There was a major release a while back that changed attributes slightly, but the core is stable
- bartread 6y agoYeah, I figured. I was really just trying to highlight what I saw as a ridiculous point. I occasionally use emacs and always have the intention of using it more. Whilst a lot of work has been done on it and, in many ways no doubt, it's much richer, the fundamentals really haven't changed at all in the 20 years since I started using it. I think for these tutorials video is a fine enough format: it'll certainly work well for some people, whilst others would prefer a different format. Both of those points of view are OK. Neither needs to be attacked.
