Maybe you just don't have sufficient exposure to Elisp. Emacs Lisp is one of the best blackmagicfockery automation tools, you can do tons of interesting things. Just the other day I got sucked into a big, long-going Jira Epic, I just needed to find every single PR in my work GitHub Orgs related to specific Jira tickets. Then I wrote this - https://github.com/agzam/github-topics
Once you learn some Org-mode, you will see how awesome it is to be able to turn just about any kind of data into an outline format - I read HN and Reddit in Org-mode format, keep my notes, my Anki cards, my code experiments, my LLM musings - all in Org-mode.
