> Imagine an AI assistant that can read your org-mode agenda, draft email replies in mu4e, help you write commit messages in Magit, and refactor code in your source buffers – all within the same environment, sharing context. No other editor architecture makes this kind of deep, cross-domain integration as natural as Emacs does. I've been a devout emacs amateur for 10 years, and recently learned nvim/lazy.vim because I was tired of web dev kinda sucking in emacs. Sure, you can get a setup with lint-on-save, inline TS errors, and all the other bells and whistles you get in vscode working on a react-tsx project, but then when you `helm-projectile-switch-project` to a vue project, suddenly you have to get a whole new config set up. And oops, for whatever reason, tab spacing isn't being pulled from the editor config for this directory... But like the author says, LLMs fixed that. I pointed Warp at my emacs config, said my problems, and said "fix plz," and it did. No more "oops," just "fix plz" whenever I'm editing rust, or svelte, or golang, or whatever else for the first time in emacs. I'm very excited for the possibility in the portion I quoted. I moved away from mu4e and org mode because managing it all was getting tedious: too much time procrastinating by tweaking org configs. Too many emails not rendered properly in mu4e or fat fingered by me and lost. But in world+llm, that's not really a problem anymore. I haven't migrated back to org mode yet but I did an experiment recently asking claude to set up org similar to my trilium set up, and it did a passable enough job that I was convinced it's possible. So, now I'm back in emacs, trying out the various LLM tools, doing poorly at getting anything other than copilot to work well, and waiting with patience and desperation for someone to make an LLM completion experience in emacs that has a multiline completion experience at least 50% as good as Cursor's. | ||
