Introduction
Apologies for the delay in introducing myself! I'm a social scientist who has been running some distro of linux since at least the early 2000s. Lately, I've been moving more toward cli programs, and want to replace all of my GUI for daily experience (with the exception perhaps of a web browser)! Last few distros I've been running on include Archbang, Crunchbang, and Debian. I'm really gravitating toward Linux BBQ philosophy and have been been stalking the forum, so I decided to register. I have a love/hate relationship with EMACS. I love Org-Mode, but curious to branch out. I've been experimenting VIM and MUTT, but am thinking of just returning to EMACS and living there. Most of my daily work on my machine includes lots of email, writing/editing, and browsing (videos). Recommendations would be appreciated, as well as nifty hacks and/or links to relevant dot files. Thanks for everything!
Re: Introduction
Welcome to the Grill Aspeak. Don't fall back to emacs, but rather learn vim TOO. Never let the tool define you. As far as things to add to emacs or vim, uhm...you'll have to be specific as to your needs, as I figure we could never reach the end of cool stuff to try on them.
Good to have you.

Welcome to the grill, aspeak.
Re: Introduction
Welcome aspeak. So a social scientist has been lurking ... hmm. What conclusions have you made? Or have we completely blown away all previously accepted norms?

Re: Introduction
Nice to have you here, aspeak :D Since Gekko linked you to the Emacs thread, here is some great stuff on Vim and such. I look forward to seeing what you can cook up ;)

Welcome to the BBQ Aspeak!
I am sure you will find a lot of information on this board by just browsing through it. My colleagues already pointed you into the right direction.
Have fun.

Re: Introduction
yup seconded, thirded etc. you'll find all (editor) religions here :)
I'm a vim head only because the work culture here is so (and it has similar keys to 'less', but it does pay to know your way around other things.
one of our customers was still using pico, not even nano pico I think we compiled it for him or something!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
How does everyone keep track of todo lists? I'd be curious to hear about people's productivity workflow!

Re: Introduction
warmly welcome, aspeak! for me, Emacs is also just the org/wrapper lately and for smaller scripts I use nano, so I think we really have every editor (with the exception of ACME) covered here :D Also good to know how 'ed' works, btw. Oh and our colleague pidsley seems to edit files with awk and sed ;)

Re: Introduction
^ great, I was just seeing something like, 'export ENV=pico ; crontab -e' seemed a bit pointless, then he asked how to get out of vim.
