   Ooh, half a year in with vim and it is starting to feel crazy smooth

   Take that, modern UX

     @ntnsndr Ah, if you like that, just try #emacs ;P :DDD

     (BTW, if my computer doesn't have emacs, it is not worth turning it on). ;D

     No, seriously, #org_mode is the 2nd best thing to process ideas after our brains.

     @edumerco Well, this is coming after 20 years of being a devoted emacs-er:)

     @ntnsndr jajaa, I wonder how it would feel if I hadn't been using it since the last century. What flavor are you playing with?

     @ntnsndr Ah, sorry, so why the change (real interest, no flaming). :)

     @edumerco last winter I dedicated myself to working through an emacs manual and realized I didn't actually want a program that does everything and just want a lean but powerful text editor that integrates well with the CLI.

     I also like how vim bindings are so ubiquitous on things like tiling window managers.

     I also am cool with simple lists as a knowledgebase, plus Zotero.
