Falling further down the #emacs RH adventures.... just discovered #orgmode and that might be the clincher for me. My writing is very much outline-driven, and I've always wanted an outliner with movable sections (had something in the early PC days that did that). When you combine all of the other functionality, #emacs gets more and more attractive. Key binding memorization is overwhelming but just saw some good advice: use M-x and functions at first. So we continue.
@birv2 If you like to write with outlines and you're starting to explore #orgmode, you might enjoy the tips Edmund Jorgensen shared in this #EmacsConf talk "Why Nabokov would use Org-Mode if he were writing today": https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/nabokov/
@birv2 Org Mode, Agenda, and Roam are my primary use case for emacs. Yes I can also browse/look at code quickly, and I'm slowly getting used to writing some code there, but for me it's all about the writing and task management.
Then I keep all my org roam notes in git, which I can easily share at work in a readable format since GitHub supports rendering org mode.
@birv2 you could just not track them but then they wouldn't be versioned in git. You could also use dir locals (I'm not experienced with this) to have a private/public set of notes. I just choose not to write anything that I wouldn't mind being public for work.
