Using emacs with 7 million keyboard shortcuts to accidentally press, and then... lisp!! No thanks. This would be more approachable in an Anaconda notebook.

Your loss.

(Also, Org Mode beats the crap out of Anaconda/Jupyter notebooks. You can still code Python, but the interface is actually ergonomic.)

It. Doesn’t. Matter. Use the too, you’re comfortable in and you’ll be way more productive than dropping everything to learn something new. Do that when the limitations of your current tool start to grate on you.

Well, parent's arguments were kind of dumb. "OMG keyboard and lisp" is not the same as saying that one can achieve the same thing in a tool one's more comfortable with.

> Use the too, you’re comfortable in and you’ll be way more productive than dropping everything to learn something new.

That's not true, and this kind of thinking can be dangerous to your productivity - especially if the tool you're comfortable in is one of the new breeds of popular applications or SaaS. Each tool has a productivity ceiling. Software like Emacs or Vim has that ceiling somewhere in the stratosphere; a typical web-based tool has the ceiling ridiculously low, barely letting you stand up. On that spectrum, dropping everything and learning a tool that gives you more space to grow does pay off very quickly.
