I am a huge advocate of using org files and literate programming in your config files.
A few reasons why: - Makes it easy to logically group sections of your init and configuration - Agenda tags search on your initialization file? Yes please! Extremely useful for those "cross-cutting" bits. I have tags like "keybinding", "osx" and "linux", and working on others as appropriate. - Add TODOs to your init file.
