Hi all, Thank you very much for your comments and contributions in this thread about Org & hyperbole, which have helped me a lot to position myself.
Certainly, for the short time I've been using hyperbole, it has me baffled. It's like someone grabbed all the tools that could be useful ten minutes before the zombie apocalypse starts. There's all the buttons stuff, but also a feature to expand regions in a style similar to the expand-region package, which I use a lot, by the way. And also features to write emails, store contacts, execute searches, a buffer and frame control system (this in particular is what most caught my attention about hiperbole and what I am using the most, since it has some very useful functionalities). The implicit and explicit buttons system is certainly powerful, but I don't think it will surprise the average Org user much in this regard. I think that Eduardo Ochs's description ("Hyperbole is meant to be used, not to be hacked") is quite accurate. On the other hand, I find the hyperbole menu (C-h h) very confusing and ugly. I think it would have gained in cleanliness if they had used transient. It seems that the hyperbole developers put a commendable and honest effort into introducing hyperbole to users. But I perceive that something is failing in the communication. I suspect that hyperbole is an attempt to establish synaptic relationships between Emacs documents and buffers. But that is also what is sought with Org. Without wishing to make comparisons (because, as I say, my knowledge of hyperbole is extremely limited) I would say that there is an important difference between org and hyperbole. Both are huge, and both are complex, and both are packed with features. But in Org there is a coherent and consistent language that ties everything together: once you learn how to ask for a glass of water in the org dialect (something you can do from day one), it doesn't take long to start more complex conversations. In hiperbole I don't just see that language that gives consistency to everything, that "org-style". Or at least it's not so obvious to me. But I'll keep giving it a chance. The whole window configuration control part is extremely interesting to me. Best regards, Juan Manuel
