Do you think what you're talking about is hard to demo?
"- The act of writing is programming your environment (Org markup becomes executable functions)
- Tools aren't discrete entities but fluid expressions of your current mental state (e.g., I can run a shell command piping it to grep and then pipe the results into a text buffer)"
I haven't seen an impressive demo of this kind of stuff tbh.
No, it's not hard to demo, and I've been thinking about making some vids, but it's just difficult for me for multiple reasons. Besides, the whole topic feels too grandiose to cover easily and make it satisfying for every level of expertise — newbies and seasoned veterans.
I'm a regular dweller of https://www.meetup.com/emacsatx. We meet every first Wednesday of the month - if timezone permits it, come talk to us if you have specific questions. I will promise you though to make an effort to produce some demos and publish them.

there is evil-mode, even mouse support ;-)
Did you use evil mode? I am basically just running Spacemacs and I don't often need to use ctrl and option most of the time by leveraging the modal editing.
