PlainTasks VS Tutkain

I am currently using PlainTasks plugin by Aziz. https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks

The author makes several great points about why it's beneficial to document your accomplishments. I've been following a similar approach for the last few years using Sublime and the PlainTasks[0] plugin to break apart projects and tasks into individual items and mark them with a timestamp when finished. I'll move the completed tasks into a new quarterly archive section to keep things clean every so often. The archived sections end up providing most if not everything I need for self-evaluations and manager discussions, entirely amortized over the course of the year.

Sure you could do something similar with Jira though I personally find Sublime to be far less overwhelming for the task, though I will usually pair the larger entries with a jira ID so there's a link back to that additional context.

Sublime Text actually has more than one very good Clojure integrations. Here's the other one: https://tutkain.flowthing.me/

Using EDN does not mean you need to implement complete EDN support. Implementing enough to match approximately what Bencode offers (and a bit more, in fact) is by no means prohibitively difficult. In some ways (encoding comes to mind), it is actually easier. EDN also leaves you the option for future extensibility, which neither JSON or Bencode can offer.

I'd certainly be willing to make auto-closing parents and indentation on Enter optional and as easy as possible to disable. I don't want them to stand in anyone's way of using Tutkain. If you'd like that, please file an issue.
