Description: | |
It has been more than four months since I wrote my article about | |
leaving Emacs. | |
This article will quickly speak about my journey. | |
First, I successfully left Emacs. Long story short, I like Emacs and | |
think | |
it's a great piece of software, but I'm not comfortable being dependent | |
of it | |
for everything I do. I chose to replace all my Emacs usage by other | |
software | |
(agenda, notes taking , todo-list, IRC client, jabber client, editor | |
etc..). | |
- agenda is not replaced by when (port productivity/when), but I plan | |
to | |
replace it by calendar(1) as it's in base and that when doesn't do | |
much. | |
- todo-list: I now use taskwarrior + a kanban board (using kanboard) | |
for team | |
work | |
- notes: I wrote a small software named “notes” which is a wrapper | |
for editing | |
files and following edition using git. It's available at | |
git://bitreich.org/notes | |
- IRC: weechat (not better or worse than emacs circe) | |
- jabber: profanity | |
- editor: vim, ed or emacs, that depend what I do. Emacs is excellent | |
for | |
writing Lisp or Scheme code, while I prefer to use vim for most of | |
edition | |
task. I now use ed for small editions. | |
- mail: I wrote some kind of a wrapper on top of mblaze. I plan to | |
share it | |
someday. | |
I'm happy to have moved out from Emacs. |
