personally this article would work way better for me with a set of animated gifs instead of turning into a wall of text. And I'd love to see his workflows for what he puts in his different orgs to help with context switching. as I get more senior I'm switching tasks even more and more.
Edit: I think I had trouble with Javascript, React and/or Ruby.
Even if I were to get everything working, then if I were to ever switch jobs suddenly I'm back at square one again.
Emacs and org-mode are perfect, _if_ you don't have to collaborate with anybody.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you using vi or vim? Have you tried emacs with evil?
Now, Vim. But I would definitely like to give Emacs another try, just for kicks. Do you think emacs with evil is the path with least resistance for a long term Vi/Vim user?

I think Spacemacs (which is an integrated emacs + evil + a whole lot more) is probably the best upgrade path for a vi/vim user. I even got one of the fellows at the office to upgrade from vim using it!
Seems like lots of people here are sharing their experience with #emacs. I like it a lot, and think that it would be part of the ideal #workingset for me. However, I have never found a nice 'jump-to-definition that worked for most languages I edit on emacs. I tried ggtags, ctags, pygments. I think I had trouble setting all of these up, and they would not work for many languages I was using. I have not found a good re…
Emacs is like Chinese to me, and truthfully to most developers I know. Is there a gentle intro somewhere? Most of what I've seen is just people throwing out package names with no real explanation.
It is difficult to even describe a productive hand tuned to fit the individual Emails setup compared to standard. Here are some of my favorite Emacs things: Helm + Projectile. Helm will fuzzy complete almost anything in Emacs. Projectile is project management. Together get to any Git repo and file there in very quick. Helm is an option to compare to IDO. I rarely use IDO due to Helm. Magit, widely regarded as a good…
The tripping block that always gets me out of the emacs flow is integrating org-mode with things my co-workers use to communicate (lately that's and Asana, Jira, and Quip, tomorrow who knows, it's hard for me to dictate choice of issue trackers or wiki based on what integrates with my admittedly nutso setup). Even if I were to get everything working, then if I were to ever switch jobs suddenly I'm back at square one…
