Yes, detangling works okay for me. I just setup properties like this: * Emacs Init file :PROPERTIES: :header-args: :tangle yes :comments link :END:
...etc. And you can open the generated file and run "org-babel-detangle" when you are done editing it. I guess I'm interesting in finding some "smarter" ways to do this. Using 'append' might work better than what I have. I'm also looking in to doing some sort of "async" usage (using some checks so multiple tangles don't run at once). I wonder if there's an easy way to setup "locks" in Emacs so you can only edit one file at a time (kind of like how auto revert works). Still researching all of this.
