Somehow we have to address the different use cases and make it esay to switch from one to the other.

If this cannot be done, applications should remain separate. Do one job and do it well.

Subject: Re: Emacs as a word processor

No, please!!

I don't want to waist CPU cycles in making things look as I want. Mainly because I trust LaTEX to do that. Even against colleagues. The only thing I need when writing is a spellchecker (flyspell) and a nice snippet combination for the more complex "quirks" in LaTEX (using yasnippet). Everything else is distraction. I concur with people pointing out that ORG makes a nice combination with LaTEX (I scarcely ever use Beamer directly for lectures, org-mode is perfect for that).

In some sense, this is back to the origins, using venerable WordStar for text-processing and programming. And yes, if you need some sense of WYSIWYH2G

(H2G=hope to get) then use any of the programs mentioned in the thread

Best wishes for 2021,
