org+emacs vs CLI

org+emacs vs CLI

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hi list,

Being a geek that I am, I ended up ditching Things.app in favor of
org. However, being a geek also means being bombarded by other tools
like Taskwarrior. Taskwarrior is great, but I don't think it can beat
the speed of org + emacs, considering of course, you are already a
seasoned emacs and org user.

I do think CLI clients for org would be nice, as discussed in the
taskwarrior thread, but really, IMO, emacs+org will always be faster
to input and query org data.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Marcelo.

I tend to agree *if emacs is open. "*C-a s + search term" will always beat
"cat ~/org/* | grep search term". I still wouldn't mind having something
quick like "t call so and so" that could obey some type of remember rule and
end up as "* TODO call so and so".

Again, if emacs is open, it's a snap. I mostly see the cli useful for very,
very simple things that one needs to do when working on something else. From
the gist of the mailing list, many people here *live* in emacs. I can't do
emails out of it due to company firewall, do much of my work in a lab away
from my desk, or am in some type of office suite. I use org for notes,
todos, and contacts. If I'm not summarizing some notes from my work... org
probably isn't open (but a terminal often is) and a cli tool for todos would
be pretty nifty.
