I had four main uses for emacs: - Programming in SuperCollider - Email (wanderlust) - Editing of Lilypond source files for music notation - Org Lilypond was the first to go. Lilypond-mode is basically unmaintained, and its code completion is rather poor compared to the dedicated, qt-based editor Frescobaldi. Then SuperCollider 3.6 came out, with a new, dedicated qt-based editor, again improving on the code completion available in sclang-mode. Then I got a tablet and started doing email on it, and lost interest in wanderlust. So now I'm down to using emacs just for org-mode and... that's [expletive] spectacular all by itself :) In the last year, using beamer export for my class presentations opened my eyes to org-mode as a writing tool. My next paper will be written entirely in org-mode, looking forward to that! hjh
