Yes, Emacs with org-mode. In fact, I got into Emacs because I wanted to try org-mode.

Org-mode it's just a mode, Emacs has a ton of modes, major and minor. The GNU Emacs Distribution, the Vanilla Emacs, already comes with org-mode.

It was six months ago. org-mode blown my mind. It was a transcendental experience, I was thrilled. It had everything I wished and much more. Thanks to it I discovered Emacs and I love it, it makes my life easier. What's great about Emacs is that you can solve any question you have with the manual, it's awesome, mind-blowing.

But It has a steep learning curve. I got through vim tutorial in less than an hour. Going through Emacs tutorial took me 4 afternoons, one our every day. It was 4 days because it's too much for one sitting. I almost gave up, I am happy I didn't. You have tot taking it slow, there are a lot of crucial key bindings you have to learn.

If you like writing or ordering idea, notes, etc. I recommend it, at least try it and then decide for yourself. But you have to put some time to get familiar with the Emacs ecosystem. Take it like a pianist, slow and steady makes you learn twice faster.

I am just a novice but this summer I want to try to learn more elisp and try to make one package. I hope this is not off topic. Emacs fits the description of the article, right?

And for those that find the Vim approach to most things preferable, Doom Emacs sets up Emacs + Evil-mode in a way that makes Emacs+Vim feel smooth, and doesn't require really any effort on your part. Big recommend.
