I write all the content for this site and for [[https://blog.ryuslash.org/][my blog]] in Emacs. I try to do all of my work in it, although it doesnt always work out. I have a specific [[https://blog.ryuslash.org/tags/emacs][tag]] for it on my blog with a [[https://blog.ryuslash.org/feed/atom?with=emacs][feed]] you can subscribe to in case you dont care about the rest of it.
As I started reading [[https://blog.calebjay.com/posts/my-emacs-environment/][How I Write Code, Take Notes, Journal, Track Time and Tasks, and Stay Organized using Emacs]] by [[https://www.calebjay.com/][Caleb Jay Rogers]] I was inspired to write a little more about my own Emacs experience and origins. I had just started using GNU/Linux on my desktop and was looking for a good IDE or text editor. I tried [[https://www.eclipse.org/][Eclipse]], [[https://www.codeblocks.org/][Code::Blocks]], [[https://www.oracle.com/tools/technologies/netbeans-ide.html/][NetBeans]], and of course [[https://www.vim.org/][Vim]]. I was specifically looking for one that worked well from a terminal window and supported nice looking syntax highlighting. So really it ended up being down to either Vim or Emacs. At the time I didnt really like either much. I would always get stuck in Vim and I couldnt understand this weird Lisp language that Emacs used for its configuration. And the keybindings were so weird!
