| 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. |
