"I can’t believe this can be so difficult! I’ve for a long time used Emacs and VM for one of a couple of email accounts. It’s great, fast and wonderful. However, Emacs VM doesn’t deal with IMAP that well and I decided last month to ditch it for Mutt [...] So now, I get full UTF-8 support as well as Emacs shortcuts when running Mutt/Emacs inside an SSH session!

The Emacs Way
«I had a good beer talk this week with Merlyn about IDEs and Emacs. Merlyn's been playing with Clojure, a Lisp for the JVM [...] After the meeting, over at the Side Door, with a good, draft Pilsner in hand, I was asked by Merlyn, "What's the fundamental difference between an IDE like IntelliJ or Eclipse and Emacs?" ...»

"Hello fellows. I'm in the process of submitting ruby-mode.el and inf-ruby.el to Emacs and ELPA. I've made some pretty wide-sweeping changes to inf-ruby.el to make it conform a little more closely to Emacs coding conventions, and I've made a few changes to ruby-mode.el as well..."

The first part was about why I think that nowadays Emacs is ready to be switching to. This second part is about flawed Vim design choices which substantially contributed to my choice..."

"I use Carsten Dominik’s great emacs package org-mode for project planning, appointments and TODOs... One cool feature is that it integrates nicely with the remember package. So when an idea comes into my mind I need to remember for later, I hit M-x org-remember RET which presents me a buffer with a custom template, I type my note and hit C-c C-c.

blog.el - 0.1 - WordPress client for Emacs
"Hi all, I'm a new Emacs LISP programmer, and I've created a blog client similar to weblogger-mode, but it allows one to type posts in muse-mode. The client is still in primitive stage but at least it allows one to post to web-log. It requires muse-mode{,-html}.el and xml-rpc.el Emacs LISP libraries to be present somewhere in load-path.
