It’s funny how I always feel a little weird recommending emacs to people as a way to do a thing that I use emacs to do. Like. I mostly use emacs for org-mode, and there’s a lot that org-mode can do, but I don’t take it quite as far as most people. I don’t do email, mastodon, etc through emacs. It’s just to manage my files. But again, there’s a lot of you can do with that.

I think the actual issue is that a lot of people react negatively to the suggestion, probably because they’re sick of hearing it, and they’re sick of hearing it because we talk about it a lot, and we talk about it a lot because we do a lot of stuff in it. Is it the most user-friendly piece of software? Absolutely not, but it is one of the most user-centric that I’ve come across. Hell, I used to blog just in emacs, and the only reason I switched was because I’m going to want to paywall some stuff shortly, and it’s difficult to do that with a static site.

Just to say; The reason we recommend this is because while the learning curve is steep, it’s well worth it for just the amount of things you can do with it.

Hell, I can even convert my posts here into org-mode if I ever feel like going back to doing things the way I used to, which is a possibility.
