Re: How to use Notmuch with Neovim?

Sorry, my wording was certainly not ideal. I am aware that Emacs is not
a requirement for Notmuch. I am also using the Notmuch binary in various
custom scripts.

Emacs has been part of my mail workflow because I found it generally
agreeable as a "MUA wrapper" around Notmuch. I have simply grown weary
of using both (Neo)vim and Emacs. The frequent mental context switches
between the diverging concepts and keybindings of both text editors are
slowing me down.

The Ruby bindings are holding me back as well. Or rather, the lack of
Ruby support in Gentoo Linux's Notmuch package.

I tried both Alot and Neomutt many months ago, but I was not happy with
either of them. Maybe I should give them another go. Bower is new to me,
but I will certainly look into it. Thanks, Emmanuel.
