I also do most of my note taking and initial drafts here. I also compile documents from within Emacs (M ! to do a shell command, then 'make html-en_US' etc.) * OO.org -- for business documents when I need to collaborate with others who are not savvy with text and diff tools. :) = Graphics/Diagrams = In order of usage for writing tasks: 1. Inkscape -- has replaced most of my usage from before 2. GIMP -- for raster image tasks 3. Xfig -- I prefer this over Dia, it seems better featured and I like the way it works 4.
