Over at DistroTube, Derek Taylor has posted a video that makes the case that for many people, Magit is the killer app for Emacs. He thinks that’s especially true if you’re primarily a developer.
I use Magit everyday all day but for me the killer app is Org-mode. Taylor notes that Org-mode is the killer app for many people so we’re not really in disagreement. It depends on your workflow and what you’re doing with Emacs.
Most of the video is a short demonstration of Magit so if you’re wondering what all the excitement is about, this video is a good way to get an idea. The video is 9 minutes, 40 seconds long so it should be easy to fit it in.
