Hi Andrea,

thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I am bit of an unusual Emacser here because I do not use it to keep track of
anything at all. I prefer old school pen and paper for this, and since August
2019 I've been a happy bullet journal user[1]. Emacs to me is mostly just for
coding Clojure/ELisp and writing in Markdown/LaTeX.

I use Flyspell (with aspell) for spell-checking, and I rely on proselint[2] for
so-called linting. I wrote a simple package to make it possible to use proselint
with Flymake[3] which has been serving me pretty well.


All the best.
