Don't be afraid to use emacs just for orgmode. It's worth it.

I think I'll really consider this. Which EMacs should I install for this purpose?

On Windows I'm using emacs from http://gnu.mirror.vexxhost.com/emacs/windows/

On Ubuntu I'm using this ppa : https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs

To have the latest orgmode version I use the `org-plus-contrib` package from : http://orgmode.org/elpa.html I'm not sure if you need to delete `lisp\org` first (orgmode is included with emacs).

I think you can also use git to keep orgmode up-to-date.

The best to-do list: a raw text file A line = a task Deleting a line = task finished A text file = a list of tasks related to some context The best and fastest editor for this on a Mac: NValt This is the most efficient and simple solution for managing plenty of todos, no cumbersome rules, check boxes, markdown, web interfaces.

Great! But I need: 1) to access it from my linux home PC; 2) access it from my windows work PC (I can't sync it using a version control since I can't store my proxy password in a cleartext file) 3) access it from my android tablet 4) Everything must be synched.

Correction: The Best To-Do List: Org-Mode http://orgmode.org/

I was an org-mode user. Then I lost emacs config file, and started using Sublime Text. I'm now a happy user of the PlainTasks plug-in. https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks

There's also an org-mode plugin for Sublime Text: https://github.com/danielmagnussons/orgmode

Just put the text file on Dropbox and use any available text editor on mentioned clients. Regarding pwds: I separate pwds and todos.

Also, are the keybindings configurable so as to be coherent with Vim's?

I have no idea but maybe you could use one of the following package:

How about with Arch?

I don't know much about Arch.

Latest emacs version is 24.3 so maybe https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/emacs/
