Re:The Emacs Problem (2005)

I was a vi person, then I tried Emacs, then I went full-Emacs (even for email, and sometimes Web), and released some of my extensions.[1]
Then I decided to try to be in less of an Emacs OS, and intentionally moved things like email out of it, even though the non-Emacs stuff in some ways didn't work as well.
Lately, I've been moving some new things to Emacs, like calendar/todo, and it's much more effective than the GUI tools I had going for that. I'm tempted to move email back, as well (but will probably write a new MUA instead, in Rust or Scheme).
