I'm in love with organization and making things work well.

I love the ideas behind things like #Zettlekasten, #OrgMode, and more.

Did you know that [the original wiki][1] represents roughly 120MB of data if you convert it to a flat text file? That represents 30 years of knowledge building, so pretty darn good.

If you use WikiText (or CamelCase) then you don't need any fancy tools. #vim, #emacs, or heck #nano and #ed the #StandardEditor are perfectly sufficient.

@RL_Dane I do use vi/vim from time to time, but I genuinely like using ed(1). I find it let's me focus more on the actual content of changes. It also keeps me from spending too much time making vim look pretty.

@goosey @mwlucas @ed1conf Also, I ended up making an ed(1) cheat sheet and printing it out because I couldn't remember the man page well.

@alexbuzzbee I use ed once in a while to quickly search & replace. I wouldn't work in it full-time if I didn't have to, but it works fine. Very useful if you have a slow Internet connection and need to edit on a server.
