Tagged "Emacs"

So, another quick post in the vein of quick, Emacs-related content. I just set up E-Mail in Emacs with mu4e! That, I feel, is a great step in the journey to doing everything in Emacs. Albeit I still believe that I won’t ever switch to Emacs as my primary web browser or PDF viewer. Those two positions are firmly held by firefox and zathura respectively. Anyhow, Emacs is a great text-based interface and E-Mail is primarily a text-based medium, hence why I think that they are practically perfect for each other.

Earlier, I wrote a post about how I enjoy using Emacs as my text editor of choice. Obviously, I cited its extensibility as one of the main factors. However, I did not really elaborate on what that brings to the table in terms of actual functionality. So, in this post I would like to make a little showcase of a thing about Emacs which I absolutely love; namely, org-mode.

Clickbait titles aside, I actually think that Emacs is a terrible editor out of the box. So, how come I use it anyway? In this post, I will contrast Emacs with VI(M) in order to point out some important factors in choosing the perfect text editor.
