I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.
Huh. I’m sorry to hear you got fired.
:P

What have you found most useful from switching? I switched to emacs a while ago and still feel like a beginner (largely because I got too greedy with all the goodies at the beginning and ended up with loads of features I hadn’t learned to use yet and a messy init.el. I restarted and am adding features as I need them, to prevent that same complexity sprawl)
I needed a better organization tool to keep track of tasks and todos, and I read about org mode on lemmy. I ended up following this tutorial and then building my own templates once I understood everything. It’s fantastic now that I have it a little customized, makes it so quick and easy to keep notes.
I switched from vim to emacs years ago. Then years later I switched back. Emacs is cool and all but it really killed my pinkie finger!
I read those comments. Wow this is like being on TV.
I once wrote C# code in MS Word because the only other option was Notepad.
You’re not alone
You made the wrong choice.
It was school work. All I needed was some proper visual indentations and a monospaced font.
Right, so Notepad.
The indentations in Word won’t be “proper;” they’re based on physical dimensions, not characters.
Like I said, all I needed was visual indentation. C# doesn’t have significant whitespaces. As long as you account for all of the braces and semicolons, you could write an entire program in a single line.
Right.
In Notepad.
I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago, writing my first html code in notepad. And I was happy about that.
ASP and PHP, too.
I honestly don’t understand how notepad is a worse alternative to word.
Word is great for formatting documents but not code.
I wrote some code with
edonce. It had a nice, calm insanity to it.
Meanwhile me looking up how to use vim everytime I use it
Why would anyone bother learning both Vim and LibreOffice when LibreOffice supports every file format Vim does, and more?
I have a friend who keeps bragging about vim and all but tbh it’s not a big deal to keep this hype going. I use featherpad btw.
Emacs followers in shambles.
