Moving Away From Deft | Emacs Dwelling

As the title says, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to move away from deft. There are a few reasons for this:

All files I am interested in quickly locating and editing are now orgified (turned into org files)
All these files are located in a single directory
All these files have a sensible naming convention indicating the contents
I am now much more familiar with dired
I didn't ever use the deft facility for creating new files, I prefer to use dired
I didn't ever need to incrementally filter / search as I can use emacs / dired for this
Deft took a couple of seconds to initially load
My deft configuration was becoming a little bloated and I wanted to use vanilla emacs where I could; see below for my former deft configuration:

(use-package deft
  :bind ("C-c d" . deft)
  :commands (deft)
  :config (setq deft-text-mode 'org-mode
                deft-use-filename-as-title nil
                deft-auto-save-interval 0
                deft-use-filter-string-for-filename t
                deft-extensions '("org")
                deft-default-extension "org"
                deft-time-format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
                deft-new-file-format "%Y-%m-%dT%H%M%S"
                deft-strip-summary-regexp "\\([\n]\\|^#\\+.+:.*$\\)"
                deft-recursive t))

It is time to move onto something a little more simple, namely:

(setq deft-directory (concat home-dir "/DCIM/content"))
(bind-key* (kbd "C-c d") (lambda()(interactive)(dired deft-directory)))

and yes I decided to keep the venerable name of deft in memoriam.

I think this is an example of over time learning that emacs has a lot of what you want already built in and with org mode it gently nudges you to organise files in a more coherent manner leading to a more simple agnostic digital way of life.
