> Another thing is org-mode. [...] Can someone recommend a good "light" tutorial for it? What are you using it for? I would recommend starting using Org just for note taking, using its outline capabilities. It's simple and avoid being overwhelmed and buried in features. One tutorial for this is [1], but even then it has advanced parts you can ignore at first. There are many Org tutorials, at some point it's best to just pick one and dive in instead of looking for the best one and ending up paralyzed by choice (a problem sometimes with Org and Emacs...). Then once familiar with this you can extend your usage in various directions: add TODO and agenda for GTD, use it to export to nice web pages with a "read the doc" theme [2], etc. [1] https://sachachua.com/blog/2008/01/outlining-your-notes-with...

In Buying into the Emacs Platform (2018)
I use Org for software development whenever I can, which is currently everyday. Usually, new code starts in cells with some Org-managed context (e.g. a Jupyter kernel in a remote container with some DB/service access). This is done using the :session code cell keyword, which works per subtree. Managing remote sessions like this generally keeps me away from terminals. Surrounding the cell are various mini-dashboards with useful docs / links / commands for that part of the project. Since Org supports embedding elisp and shell commands in clickable links [1], these mini-dashboards can be made very quickly. Org lets me edit the code using the proper Emacs mode for its language, while pulling dynamic completion / docs from the Jupyter kernel. Just like Jupyter notebooks, I can view rich outputs from the cells in-line. I can then name the outpu

ts and make them inputs to other cells, including ones in different languages / kernels. AFAIK that's an Org-only trick. Most code eventually finds it's way to normal source files (see Org's "tangle" feature). This feels more natural than moving code from notebooks since, again, the cell editing mode is the same as the one for source files. Org's tree-manipulation capabilities + support for multiple sessions means that (so far) I've only ever needed 1 Org file per project. I track this in git, which is simple since Org is just plain-text. To share with non-Org users, I usually export to ipynb [2] or, for static docs, HTML [3].

In The Future of Notebooks: Lessons from JupyterCon
I am using org mode daily. The biggest problem is onboarding other people on the team - google docs are still easier for collaboration. Many times I wrote an initial version of the doc in org-mode and exported it to google docs for feedback and collaboration. For example, https://tensorflight.com/tutorial is written in org and exported to HTML via theme https://github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes . People in the team were suggesting moving it to google docs.
