I've tried, but I cannot get warm with #emacs anymore. Fish shell has grown on me very much, as well as fzf and #neovim and while #emacs is an amazing silo, it is still mostly a silo, trying to pull every workflow in.
Don't even miss org that much - Reminders does a surprisingly good job with kanban-like view and I have discovered mdcat for markdown document preview with images. Was never a big fan of magit - LazyGit and git cli do everything I need. Guess, I am a simple man, after all...
getting on the do it all in emacs bandwagon is one of biggest pitfalls with #emacs in my opinion.
not everything has a good experience in Emacs, irc & matrix for example.
if all you use emacs for is notes & org node or just magit that's fine.
@dekkzz76 @ringtailringo I actually mainly just edit code with emacs. I guess I’m weird.
@ringtailringo @dekkzz76 fair points. I guess I enjoy the configuration because I like programming and the process of incrementally improving my work flow. I found vim was hard to improve beyond a certain point when I switched almost a decade ago. Speed isn’t the best (esp on windows which I unfortunately need to use) but not a problem and more than adequate on fast hardware and Linux.
@ambihelical @dekkzz76 Fair enough, we all know that configuring emacs can be a fulfilling full-time hobby. :) I just have less time in last years due to my offspring, so everything I have to configure in emacs just causes me stress. At the same time, doom emacs does not look that slick anymore, it quite a configuration these days and it feels performance-wise. So I downsized to fish + nvim and, to my surprise, liked it.
my config doesn't change much so maybe i'm lucky
@ambihelical @dekkzz76 I did it too, nothing wrong with it, but it was certainly much slower and more cumbersome to configure compared to neovim.
