+## Preferences
+
+I prefer to use [Lynx][] along with [Emacs][] (via
+`emacsclient`) to work with the wikis. (Note the &ldaquo;Local
+variables&rdaquo; section below.)
+
+The things I dislike in the wiki engines are:
+
+* the use of home-brew specialized version control systems
+ &mdash; while there're a lot of much more developed general
+ purpose ones;
+
+* oversimplified syntax
+ &mdash; which (to some extent) precludes more sophisticated
+ forms of automated processing; in particular, this forces one
+ to reformat the material, once complete, to, say, prepare a
+ book, or an article, or slides.
+
+Out of all the wiki engines I'm familiar with, only Ikiwiki is
+free of the first of these. I hope that it will support more
+elaborate syntaxes eventually.
