==== Converted to Emacs ====
25 Jan 2018

Emacs has become my main editor after being a die-hard vim user for more than 10 years.

The main drive is I have to use Windows 7 (I know, 7) as dev machine since I started a new job in an finance institution. With group policy, network filter and proxy in place, setting up gvim becomes very frustrating, I’m sure given enough time I would eventually have a comfortable gvim environment for Windows, but I always want to master emacs (secretly) and tried a few time in the past, this time I want to go all in.

A few thing emacs wins me over:

  - [[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil|evil]] is the best vim emulator I have ever seen, it’s so complete that I don’t feel any differences than regular vim, that’s how the conversion is even possible for me.
  - [[https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil|orgmode]] is what attracts me to use emacs in the first place, I especially like clocking feature, I could easily track my work life and create timesheets, I know there are fancy SaaS webapps out there, but I wouldn’t bet on proprietary software, [[http://blog.sunrise.am/post/144196642739/its-almost-time-to-say-goodbye|sunrise]] and Wunderlist have taught me enough.
  - emacs lisp is a much better programming language than vim-script, fun to learn and make everything in emacs customizable.
  - package.el and [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package|use-package]], Emacs has builtin packages manager, it’s fairly easy to install plugins.

I will post more about my journal to learn Emacs :)
