    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I personally havent really used emacs for organizing, but I really like it for bash coding and writing software documenation in orgmode. I am even starting to get a little bit comfortable at writing my .emacs file but at some point I will have to do a lot of reorganizing and updating and I kind of dont want to do it (I still use .emacs and not emacs.d/init.el and all keybindings still use the legacy global-set-key command).

    Apart from the work I am putting into it it is really great, because when I actually get to do stuff I can do so with great efficency. I am even starting to miss my emacs keybinds when not using emacs (especially ctrl-k for killing from your cursor position to the end of the line ctrl-a for jumping to the beginning of a line and ctrl-e for jumping to the end of a line). At this point when I am writing stuff in emacs (as example working on a bash script) I at maximum use my mouse for scrolling.

    Fuck, I really did turn into the meme (and I am not even using it for longer than 4-5 months at maximum)___

    Excuse me while I get really mad at you for not using Vim even though it doesn't effect me in anyway.

    Jokes aside, I've gone the route of just using an extension in VS code to give me the Vim key bindings. I can't go back to non-modal text editors the muscle memory is too strong. I really should play around with emacs in "evil mode" at some point. Maybe I could get the best of both worlds then.

    Edit: Vince -> Vim, Vince is a terrible text editor he doesn't even understand my keystrokes when I type at him.
