Actually, I can just be that guy as I use it myself, and it is great. However I do find myself spending energy I wish I didn’t on meta-things like how to organize it all (files, tags, hierarchy etc). I think it could benefit from having preconfigured setups like doom-emacs or ruby on rails or whatever («convention over configuration»). One for a hardcore GTD, one for zettelkasten, one that is bare bones, etc..
I realize the agenda should make this less important, but I still get caught up in it from time to time (tags? Properties?)..
I haven’t tried org-roam though. I just feel like theres so many moving parts to my setup already. Anyone had any good/bad experiences integrating it into your workflow?
Speaking of org-mode, maybe I should start looking at those scheduled items in my agenda that are now some 600 days+ past its due date...
Totally anecdotal: I've been an org-mode user for years, and have spent some time using RoamResearch directly as my primary notetaking tool.
I _still_ haven't figured out how to use org-agenda properly, and it feels like I'm missing a lot of core functionality as a result.
I tried to get into org-brain for a while. It never stuck for me.
RoamResearch was a lot stickier; I may end up back in it at some point because of the mindshare and effort being poured into it. It's a really great product--my threshold for being willing to do my thinking work inside a program that's finely tuned to distract me (the browser) is high, so this is saying something.
In the meantime, though, I've been giving org-roam some love, more than anything else because it's _not_ in the browser distraction machine (to wit, here I am commenting on HN when I should be billing time...). Getting spun up and fully in the habit of using org-roam took me a couple days of background effort. I find it easy enough to forget it's there, which is good enough for me.
