> t's much easier to write such things in emacs than curating various different scripts in various languages (python, etc.) which all require their specific support which is either available or not. Not in my experience. I much prefer to use the simpler acme / plan9 way, where I am free to use the language I prefer or that is better suited for the job. Same for vscode, atom, etc. Vim and neovim are halfway between these extremes and I would say easier to bend towards acme than towards emacs. That being said, I use org mode because it’s great, thanks to emacs capabilities. I would however also much prefer org mode if it was an external pandoc-like program, usable from anything.
