Subject: Defaults for noobs, dotfiles for vets [legibility 1/6]
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 12:07:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMUm4927NjVummM_sqMbWTV0jtu5dwPERFE=g-Jykj2LFyGezA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Beginners spend a while learning to use Emacs as a simple text editor
before they're able to do anything more advanced. Their ability to
intelligently customize is minimal. Meanwhile experts have automated
dotfile deployment, so defaults are almost irrelevant to them.
Therefore defaults should be set for inexperienced users.
Inexperienced users will mostly use Org for longform prose, since they
haven't learned its database functions yet. Since Org aspires to be a
personal info manager, it should prioritize prose presentation above
code conventions.
Concerns about terminal impact appear to be moot, since terminal
ignores most font settings.
