I tried to do a dive into emacs in the Dec 2020 because of what i read a bout Org, but i just hit too many stability issues on my MBP with Doom - just went back to vimwiki after 2 wasted evenings. :/ Maybe someday.
Didn't click for me until I needed to work on a Pinebook Pro that didn't have the juice for VSCode. After a full day of working with Emacs I'm a convert. The hardest things to grok were minibuffers and how every named command run with M-x is just an Elisp subroutine. After that Emacs just feels like a huge library of text manipulation functions, ergo, Editor MACroS.
