Org-Mode

At this month's GTALUG meeting, Sacha Chua demonstrated Org-mode, an Emacs mode for making and organising notes. Sacha's enthusiasm for the subject was wonderful. To say that she is a huge fan of Emacs is an equally huge understatement. Her jabs at vi users were gentle. ^_^

Org-mode is nice. Nice enough to tempt me into using Emacs again. (I'm one of those weird people who has used both vim and Emacs.) However, I note that someone is working on a partial clone of Org-mode for vim, called VimOrganizer, which may be worth checking out when it's complete. VimOutliner is another, more mature option.
