#1262 — The Command Line Office

From the "no GUI is good GUI" department:

http://ebeab.com/2014/03/04/the-command-line-office/

Guy does a halfway decent job of looking at how you can do most of what
you need in a day's work from the command line.  It's cursory, so
before you flay it for not being in-depth enough, but I found it
interesting anyway.  Covers emacs/vim, sc, a python Twitter app,
calendaring, presentations, password keeper, and a bit more.  I'm sure
there are lots of improvements to be made.  

Off hand I'd add taskjuggler for (awesome) project management, and
auctex/latex for documents.

There's also an interesting discussion going on hacker news in
response, although people already have gotten wrapped up over the word
processor question, as usual:

Heresy.  The author mentions Emacs, but then goes on to mention a whole
bunch of other tools.  As if Emacs can't do everything you need.

That's awesome, I wasn't familiar with sc.  Spreadsheets have been
the only reason I ever need to fire up libreoffice for my own
documents.  Vim is my editor of choice, so I'm definitely looking
forward to playing with sc :D

taskjuggler looks interesting.  I've never been happy with any sort
of project management software or web apps.  I'll give it a try.

P.S .  I was a /. lurker, then became a usenet lurker a few weeks
ago, now I'm becoming a usenet poster.  Thanks for all the awesome
stuff you guys discuss here :)

Also useful in a command line environment are GNU screen and ircii. I
run both on a Raspberry Pi over ssh from my main box. The Pi also runs
emacs (which isn't installed by default) configured for mail, and R.

tmux is a great alternative to GNU screen.

+1

tmux to screen is like weechat-curses to irssi.
