I hear good things about spreadsheet functionality in org-mode.
- ycombinete 8y agoI use Orgmode. A lot. It's my primary organisation method, as the General Manager for a small 3 person sub-company, as well as my household organisation. I've always, unwittingly, organised myself via two systems: 1. Lists 2. Matrices I love the tables in Orgmode [0]. They are intuitive, simple, and just beautifully done. That said, the spreadsheet functionality is a different beast altogether. Even though it's the same interface as the tables, it adds an exponential layer of complexity, and separation from how most people view a spreadsheet. It's powerful, but a bit daunting, and I don't see many journalists being able to grok it.

- ycombinete 8y agoI just discovered that you can actually use Org's Tables as R data frames, and all sorts of other R actions from within Org. [0] So that's quite amazing.
