  Complete synergy into everything else emacs. Easy examples, any source that is delimited with `#begin_source language` will have whatever the editor would do for `language` in the delimited section. Searching the file is exactly like searching any other file. Committing it to source is trivial, as it is a somewhat normal text file. And while org is not a perfect static site generator, it works surprisingly well for it. https://taeric.github.io/challenging-my-filesize-intuition.html https://taeric.github.io/challenging-my-filesize-intuition.h... is a fun example I did not too long ago showing off some of the benefits. That last actually shows how emacs can be treated like what a lot of folks use jupyter for. With the main difference that the "on disk" form is a somewhat normal text document using fairly trivial markup.

  Write a list of three items you're working on. * One .. * Two .. * Three .. Now mark them as TODO items, with one being in-progress: * TODO One .. * TODO Two .. * INPROGRESS Three .. In Emacs you can then view your calendar, or org-agenda, which will have the current day and all items on it. You can add a deadline to an item, and it will jump to that day on the calendar/agenda. Can you keep track of simple items in google docs? Absolutely. Can you make them appear on a google calendar? No. (Yes I realize Google has todo-app, and that does. Even with recurring scheduling, but that's not tied in to google docs either)
