Can someone who uses a tool like this explain to me why they use it? I am of the opinion that nothing beats pen to page and recently bought an e-ink tablet that fulfills that role. Based on a cursory glance and my biases, it seems frivolous and over-engineered.
- wodenokoto 5y agoWhich tablet did you get? I feel like remarkable is too barebones (especially with the subscription) while the android tablets are too “everything and the kitchen sink”, which an e-ink screen isn't the right tool for.

- sdwisely 5y agoSure, I started using (emacs) org-mode about a decade ago after deciding I wanted to get my notes out of Evernote. Obviously I wanted to avoid migrating again in the future, I wanted something as close as possible to plain text that wasn't in a SaaS. org-mode happened to tick all the boxes while allowing me to: * make links to lines from e-books I can click and go straight there * refer to part of an email * todo and agenda * export in a easily to many formats to share with my coworkers or friends * have some basic spreadsheet functionality (I don't really have need for an office suite) * inline source code I can eval like a REPL, etc etc. I probably could have used a handful of tools to get what I wanted, but org-mode offered all that and more. I expect I'll probably use it the rest of my life. as for this particular project? I'm not a vim user, but it's nice to know that should I decide become one, I've got options.
