Top-level
 @akkartik @bouncepaw history and editability I think, I never really thought about this until now I suppose. I guess a text file could be a wiki, but if the suggestion is "Using Emacs/vim-style file system navigation is just moving the complexity of a wiki engine into an IDE", I'd feel a bit duped. 4 comments

@bouncepaw @akkartik I think it has. It's a good name for that stuff. I think memex is a bit out-dated.

@neauoire @bouncepaw @akkartik I think it’s just a writable web page (or more generically, a writable hypertext): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb …which is what TBL had in mind in the first place, but it (the WWW) wound-up read-only for a handful of boring reasons. |

@neauoire @bouncepaw "search for word at cursor" is a pretty simple thing. I wouldn't call editors that provide it IDEs.
But yes, that's what I meant by "foundational" above. Wikis are so simple that every computer is a wiki engine.
Your point about version control is a good one. OP is outsourcing that to git. Which is reasonable, but I still consider version control quite complex. So I'm overstating how foundational wikis are..
