I assume some people like the idea of being more in control, in the sense of having the exact recipe for compilation explicitly specified. Some people might also find tectonic [0] as a nice compiler backend. From my experience, latexmk [1]

My base has somewhere around 200k lines of text. I'm pretty sure some of these are almost never read. But I do open old entries/pages some times. I see no problem in writing a note that I never read. The writing is itself useful,

This is a very relevant comment! I think it is very important to lower the barrier between a thought and a note. I personally do this by having a shortcut on my keyboard that immediately opens my index/"scratchpad", which mea

I created wiki.vim after having used Vimwiki for some years. I wanted to clean up the code and make it less "bulky" - Vimwiki is a filetype plugin, a wiki linker plugin, a plugin for handling/managing todo lists, and much mor
