Emacs is the real experience in digital gardening. You tend to it for years, decades, as it grows with you to be your own, one-of-a-kind computing environment where you feel comfortable, efficient, and in peace.
It's not as perfect as the commercial flower installations. But they come and go, and your garden endures. As new plants come into fashion, you can get them for your garden too. As they go out of fashion, you can still keep them if you want.
And yes, you can also blog with it too.

GNU Emacs is the most important tool of my digital life. With its extension org-mode, I organize everything: todos, calendar, reminders, contact management, knowledge base, hardware inventory, brain-storming and ideas, lecture notes, presentations, spreadsheets, blogging, recipes, and archive.

Please notice that I also use vim on a daily basis, whenever I only need an advanced text editor. But Emacs is so much more than an editor. It is even an advanced step in the evolution of computer systems from my point of view.

I programmed a lot of tools that generate or parse Orgdown files in order to do advanced PIM: lazyblorg, Memacs, appendorgheading, org-du, orgformat (Python library), jira2org-story, orgmode-balance, muttfilter.py, org-contacts2vcard, extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode, and more.

If you are looking for a introduction screencast video, take for example this one. If you do not get the beautiful concept behind the default keyboard shortcuts (key bindings), read this article.
