As a huge fan of org-mode, I am very happy with that solution, because org-mode makes the file easier to browse, read, distribute, export... etc. For example, [it](https://github.com/zamansky/using-emacs/blob/master/myinit.org) serves as a documentation for itself, and integrates with github well.\r\n\r\nThis can be done by adding `(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name \"~/.emacs.d/myinit.org\"))` in `init.el`, and create another `.emacs.d/myinit.org` which contains the configs, self-commented! \r\n\r\n### Question\r\nAre there any drawbacks that prevent you from using that method? What prevents you from using that? I'd like to combine advantages from both sides if there's none... \r\n\r\nThank you very much in advance!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/emacs.d/issues/comments/537238154","html_url":"https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/issues/725#issuecomment-537238154","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/emacs.d/issues/725","id":537238154,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDUzNzIzODE1NA==","user":{"login":"purcell","id":5636,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjU2MzY=","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/5636?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell","html_url":"https://github.com/purcell","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2019-10-01T21:27:53Z","updated_at":"2019-10-01T21:27:53Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"> because org-mode makes the file easier to browse, read, distribute, export... etc.\r\n\r\nI don't really agree with this for cases when the org content is primarily code. For primarily textual content I like org-mode very much, and also for technical documentation with code snippets.\r\n\r\nIn particular with lisp, so many features in Emacs make emacs lisp seamless and convenient to work with, and most of them are made less seamless and convenient by the act of putting emacs lisp in org code blocks. (This is the superset of @jangid's specific point above.)\r\n"}}
