Emacs Muse Mode. Write the thing in Muse. Than export it to whatever you like it's everything available: wiki, html, pdf, latex and so on.

and export to several blog engines.

- it has iCal, LaTeX, HTML export - you can customize the rules for these - you can write your own (rudimentary "plugin architecture")

Emacs Org Mode. (Everything else is for sissies (ok, kidding))

In this times you are short on supply for THAT???!!

Android Apps: Massive Multipayer Online Games with Google Maps so the players actually have to move theire asses out into the real world.

also the prestige thing is a multi-dimensional thing. high-brow vs low-brow and things like that play into this.

I am no coder, I use Emacs as my 'DTP package. But I can relate something rom graphic design. Why a graphician should be able to draw stuff with pen and paper rather than only work at the computer? Because the connection between thought and hand is faster with pen and paper. Hence, broadband output and feedback loop. Not just faster but enhaced quality: so fast that feedback loop becomes subconscious, direct, flow. Maybe in programming with vi /emacs the same thing occurs.

Emacs has an intuitive interface - the keyboard shortcuts. Discover them.

A dish I like for breakfeast: - grits (cooked) together with ham & eggs - fresh tomatos as "salad"

Grits are awesome to start the day with because they are not lying heavy in your stomach but the energy lasts long.

BUt it is far from 'good enough', it is a hindrance to productivity.

That's what I found too: install 1-2 of those lif-hacks and you are way better off. Fiddle around with more and you just wasted your time. Thanks, though, for the (not very deep but stil profound) analysis.

43folders is a name that actually makes sense. The one item of productivity pr0n that is t unique to GTD is the tickler file. An arrangement which consists of 43 folders.

Thanks for understanding the problem space. Just one addition: the Mac competes in some markets for market share. Just not for overall PCish OS installations world wide.

yeah, the chokehold of the monopoly fades away... off course there is a surge in innovation.
