I could probably be induced to change my mind if nothing else turns out to be good enough. (I first used emacs back around 1984, IIRC.

That's kind of funny because I pay $35 for EditPlus, which I really like. I like it enough that once I bought an extra license that I didn't really need, just to give the developer a bit more support. I did try Sublime some years ago, and I liked EditPlus better so I don't really have a feel for how things work in Sublime. I suppose I could use the trial period to try out the Zettel plugin; I think it's available somewhere. > Also note the existing post specifically on Zettelkasten.
