+Would probably start with doom or Spacemacs.

+## Q5: What made you use Vim in the first place? Were you looking for a note-taking system in plain text (such as Markdown), or were you using it for programming?
Used vim first time mainly for programming not for Markdown.
-
## Q4: I tend to think that life in school-age is somehow simple to organize since categories are easy to distinguish (years/classes, hobbies, &#x2026;) in contrast to business life (many projects in parallel with many touch-points in-between them). From your point of view: do I have wrong memories on my time in school or did school change that much?
-
School makes it easier to have a structured system.
-
-## Q3: Assuming you keep real time notes during your lessons how do you manage to keep up with the lecturer's speed. I can write latex fragments pretty fast but I am not yet at the point that I can keep up with them. What are the tricks/snippets you use? Oh and do you have a git repo with your Emacs dots that we can see?
-
-Types pretty fast (~110 wpm); for math/science uses cdlatex, yasnippet expansion, and latex fragments

Emacs config! <https://piercegwang.github.io/emacsd/init>

## Q2: What do your friends think :) ? (Do you collaborate with your friends?)
+Overwhelmed them by the positive experience at first :). Now that the
+configuration is somewhat stable Emacs doesn't come up as often in
+discussions, though. [someone can probably come up with a better
+summary of this answer]

-The general concensus is that it's an amazing piece of software, but they think it's too complicated for them to use. I think they also still have PTSD from the initial days when I was talking about Emacs **all** the time (whooops)

## Q1: Do you use Emacs for school assignments?
+Answered in talk: yes, Org mode, export to LaTeX -> PDF.
