Soydev's use html, chads use orgmode and sane people use markdown with pandoc. You can use any editor in any platform and not get tied to a bloated package on top of an already bloated editor.
You have preceded me with this comment. For the regular Emacs user, this is very convenient. However, for the Markdown + Pandoc with CSS user (in Vim or whatever text editor), Emacs is way more complex. Look who's crying (DT).
I got it: you don't like emacs. And thats fine. But if you call emacs a "bloated editor", (1) you don't have an idea of what emacs is, and (2) you have not used emacs for a decent time to criticize it. I grant that emacs is not perfect, but it is great, to the extent of the kind of beast it is. If you want to use a shovel, it does the work, but don't call a bulldozer "bloated" just because it is bigger than what ever you use. It might be bloated for your specific use cases, but there are many more others than yours. Be kind. I am trying to be.
@@abarocio80 I call Emacs bloated because it is bloated. It includes stuff no one would ever want in their text editor like reading news, email, web browser and what not. The funny part is that each of those stuff are just as hacky as the other and break at the slightest change. The one thing it claims to be - a text editor it does a horrible job with atrocious default keybindings suggesting that the developers put the minimum amount of thought in the area that's supposed to define their software. Emacs used to be a decent editor during the initial stages (like Gosling's version) when it had much less pretense about itself (a lisp machine that implemented TECO macros). Now it's just a bloated mess. Orgmode is just like a mini-Emacs on top of Emacs with equally misguided design philosophy. Lastly, I'm criticizing a tool, not your character, I can be as harsh as I like. No need to take things so personally.
@@sigmapiepsilon Bloated is nod a description, but an opinion, as you have prove it. The tools you choose to do your work depend on your work, and on your character. That, your character, is from where opinions come. It is one thing to call a thing bloated, as it is by itself, and another is to say "it is too big for my needs, I need something simpler". The later is fine and honest, but the first one is dishonest and petulant. (Sorry if I am being harsh.) And don't worry about me and my fragile ego, I don't take it personal.
@@abarocio80 > Bloated is nod a description, but an opinion, as you have prove it. What? How do you "prove" an opinion? BTW that's not an opinion, it's pretty much a known fact. Emacs became bloated the day it started shipping with packages like Orgmode, Gnus, News reader, etc. which are themselves bloated and hacky (but ironically no evil-mode which would have at least made a decent editing experience). No other mainstream text editor has such insane things added on top of itself. You know you have a bloated editor when the init configuration for the editor has to be made as separate packages (aka Doom emacs, spacemacs etc.) so that newcomers can have a working installation. > The tools you choose to do your work depend on your work, and on your character.

What is he benefit converting xyz format to html?. it seems like doing double work, when you just can edit or create an HTML file directly which is already pretty easy.
That's right. Why use json if the data is already in a SQL database? Org is much more than just a text format. To do all what org does in HTML you would require a bestial javascript (backend and fornted), and yet not be enough. HTML is convenient to share with others in a particular case (like passing part of the representation of the data to a frontend), but HTML can not replace org, as json can not replace SQL (nor SQL can replace json, nor org can replace HTML).
One problem with HTML is with being able to see evolution through VCS and diffs. 2 version of HTML may differ greatly because text was just wrapped and yet nothing changed. With simpler markup formats it's easier to follow changes in the VCS. You end up with a better separation between content and presentation.
