Hm, the article asserts that Ledger doesn't have tags:

> Sub accounts vs. Tags > But what if the expense is part of another category as well, like expenses for your vacation? Well, you'd be at a loss. There is no good way to model this in ledger-likes without getting really hacky.

But that's not true. Ledger has tags. You specify a tag with:

    :tagname:
For instance:

    6-5-2018 Gave food to Bart Simpson, while on vacation
        Expenses:bart     1 orange    ; :vacation:
        Assets:food


And Ledger has an [Emacs mode](https://github.com/ledger/ledger-mode).
