Emacs Org-mode - a system for note-taking and project planning
Google Tech TalksJuly 15, 2008ABSTRACTOrg-mode is a large Emacs sub-systems that has been integrated intoEmacs with the version 22.1 release. From it original intend,Org-mode is a system for structured note-taking and project planning.It uses strictly plain text files, making it a truly portable,system-independent solution. The project-planning features areimplemented using a fairly simple outlining paradigm, upon whichmeta-data concepts like due dates, priorities, TODO states and tagsare overlayed in a non-intrusive way. Besides outlining the systemand its basic concepts, I will give background information into thehistory of Org-mode and discuss the properties of such an evolvedsystem compared to a top-down designed one. Finally, I will alsobriefly touch on some technical aspects that may be interesting forEmacs wizards and developers.Speaker: Carsten Dominik
Just enter M-x viper-mode and you can stop whining. Problem solved! :)

I would rather plunge pencils into my eyes than return to the hell of emacs.

And Emacs can emulate vi with Viper mode. So if you think vi keys are a good idea (I do), you can still have the best of both worlds.

Amazing video!!Joint With Russell video, this lecture made me change from planner-el to org-mode!

No, thy're called recursive Emacs' in professional literature. Quite a powerful thing actually once you get the hand of it.

Bravo! Org-mode is a great piece of emacs hackering. It's very easy to learn incrementally - I started using it effectively within the first hour of discovering it, and I will make heavy use of some of the features presented in this video - particularly the integration with calc.My compliments and thanks to Professor Dominik for his work, and to Google for making this and other TechTalks available to the public.

That said, you can of course also run another Emacs in said terminal emulation running in Emacs, and the truly self-referentially inclined may try to attach an additional TTY Emacs frame to the Emacs in which the TTY emulation which hosts that additional frame runs. Doing so may tear the fabric of the space-time continuum.

OneNote is essentially a programmer's straightjacket. I am impressed by some of the visual flair, but Org-Mode wins hands down for portabilityI've used it for 1+ years, and it is essential on emacs because of links and clocking time. I use it as a knowledgebase, a journal, and as a web site management tool. It is simply amazing, and its maintainer, Carsten, is definitely one of my role models in terms of a developer that is in tune with his user community, both present and future needs.
