    The world needs more videos like this. I love it! Keep going. Very often emacs videos are targeted at, for lack of a better phrase, power users and leave new users to fend for themselves. Videos like this and a few others on emacs basics are great to show how powerful emacs is when compared to those other editors.

    You can add this to the bullet with habits
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: Habits
    :END:
    And the will be displayed in agenda as "Habits: Drink Water" for example

    This is awesome, thanks for making this video. And to think that people think that Emacs is inferior to other IDEs, or that it's "just a primitive text editor". They have NO IDEA how powerful Emacs and org-mode are.

    Are you running emacs with `-nw` option the --no-window way? What operating system are you using? Are you using spacemacs? Cause I'm using emacs in my ubuntu terminal, and I tried a lot but can not show an inline image in that terminal, so I was confused.

    • @abc249
      @abc249 3 года назад

      Distro Tube made a video about why we shouldn't use emacs in the terminal. I'm stil new to it, but I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to display pictures unless you're using the gui version. ruclips.net/video/s0ed8Da3mjE/видео.html

    • @jaredarcilla571
      @jaredarcilla571  3 года назад

      Using the GUI. Not sure there's a way to display images in the terminal.
      At the time I was running Arch Linux however, since then I've just been using Windows but Emacs in WSL2 with Ubuntu.

    • @agastyam_
      @agastyam_ 2 года назад

      ​@@jaredarcilla571 I'm curious how you got around the performance issues of WSL2 while running emacs (27). (I use spacemacs and am aware that doom is faster, but the pure difference between them can't be enormous, can it?) Did you do all your work from the subsystem home directory (I found that unperformant as well)?
      Also, I ran into unresolvable flickering issues with emacs 27 running on windows natively (without WSL). In case that prompted you to use emacs with WSL2, you might want to consider upgrading to emacs 28.1 (that resolved my issue).
      Thanks for introducing me to that calendar package, I had no idea emacs had that!

      @@agastyam_ I haven't used spacemacs in a while but when I switched to doom in 2019 the difference truly felt like night and day.
      I missed my linux emacs setup and found that I wanted to go back to linux. So I switched out of using emacs on a virtual machine running linux.

    Why does Emacs look so much more polished than NeoVim? I mean the test rendering and stuff like that. Can you do a video talking about your setup? Has anyone gotten neovim to look this clean and to render this way?

    • @reaperfs2371

      It's because Neovim runs in the terminal while Emacs is a GUI application.
