I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.

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!

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.
