Moving away from Emacs, 130 days after

NILIt 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.
