I’ve been (yet once again) trying Doom Emacs these days; in fact I’m still watching a great series of video tutorials on it.
But there are several factors that won’t make me stick with it:
- (Doom) Emacs is slow as hell.
- Org-mode is very cool but I don’t need yet another syntax for notes, markdown is good enough.
- Org-mode is great but I don’t feel the need to manage my life and tasks in such great detail, in fact pen and paper are more than sufficient for me at the moment.
- The Emacs ecosystem is way too much to absorb, and I’m not even an “expert” at neovim (yet).
- My neovim setup is so well refined, I just prefer it.
- I’d just use Doom Emacs for Org-mode really, and it kinda feels like using a space ship to hammer down a nail.
- (Doom) Emacs is slow as hell.
I tried the nvim-orgmode plugin, and it’s kinda cool but it’s not polished enough yet, I think; and also the documentation is not up to speed with the development of neovim or other plugins (blink-cmp), unfortunately. But I’m keeping it in my neovim config for the time being, I like the org-agenda view too much, I just need to open it up from time to time.
And again, having to deal with yet another syntax just for taking notes and todo lists seems a bit overkill honestly.
I’ll stick with Vimwiki for now, and taskwarrior for my task management when I feel the need.
