Thanks for this comment! > Time spend dealing with org mode would likely be a waste. Last night and this morning I looked at emulating Leo with emacs windows and speedbars. Some things are easy, like arranging windows in an emacs frame, some things are much hard, like speedbar. My immediate conclusion is that Leo-in-Emacs would be a speculative, risky venture. Indeed, I am torn with a classic approach/avoidance situation. Some parts of Emacs are intriguing, while others are repulsive :-) Your comments are strongly pushing me in the "avoidance" direction. > It might be > interesting to support org outlines as @thin files, but I'm not > sure I > even see the virtue in that. Leo's @thin format is practically identical with org mode's format, except for the embedded gnx's. I think that is good enough for now. > What Leo really is missing is code completion, still... I agree. It's time to finish the small stuff and move on to better vim emulation and code completion. Again, thanks for your comments. I trust your judgment a bit more than my own in such matters.
