I just wanted to share this because it looks sooo good! Also keep in mind this is emacs on TERMINAL.

Me preparing my teaching using Emacs/org-mode. I don't know any other software that gives me this perfect balance between eye candy (although I had to work for that) and extreme usability. I mean, sure, TeXmacs or LyX may make the notes even a bit prettier, but good luck navigating them or using those for organization of, like, anything.

OT question: As a thought experiment you can have a black hole with a schwarzschild radius long enough that the gravitational pull of the black hole to say 1 kgr is 10N, which is exactly the gravitational pull of earth on 1 kgr on the surface of the planet. (I know it needs huge mass, but it's a thought experiment). So, when that 1 kgr passes through the event horizon (and the pull is 10N) what exactly forbids it from coming out again?
Once you learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance a system in a way that fits your need, yes, good luck using another tool that you now need to learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance to use in a way that fits your needs, ha!
Well there's the teensy-weensy difference that emacs/org is designed with effective navigation and organization as two of its main purposes, while TeXmacs or LyX are built for different purposes and have no ambition of shifting their scope to navigation/organization.
Like... PowerPoint is Turing complete so I could just use that too, but there's a reason I don't use that for coding or project management and it's not just that I'm conservative...
Keep in mind that I did not mention either of those by name, you did, so you're debating yourself rather than me. I'm just saying that making a tool, any tool, work best for your use case doesn't mean you can't achieve the same result with another tool, or set of tools after similar customization etc.
