So far my transition has been:

- Sigil: smooth
- kindlepreviewer instead of kindlegen: I haven't made a successful book yet; it seems to be complaining about links to missing files. I'm going to cut down to the simplest helloworld book possible and try again
- KCC: haven't tried yet as I have been doing this on a Linux box
- DeDRM: I find the Mac drop target and Linux CLI easier. I might break down and just use Calibre for this instead
- convertLIT: I'm using the builtin Linux support for this since convlit is an Ubuntu package; the bash command line is just easier to deal with for me than Windows' terminal. I'd rather re-create my own epubs by hand than use Calibre's conversion
- Palm tools: since I went over to the Dark Side anyways, I am just going to do a conversion with Calibre and then clean that up by hand
- vim: I've decided to spend some time getting used to Atom instead
- development: I'm still trying to figure out what mix of things I need

My biggest issue right now is standard Windows font display is not all that attractive.
