An advantage of a literate #emacs configuration with #orgmode: it allows you to use org-ql to get nice overviews.
For example, while migrating from straight.el to Elpaca, you can obtain a sparse tree of all sections where a straight recipe appears:
(org-ql-sparse-tree '(src :regexps (":straight")))
(And yes, without Org mode there are still 101 other occur-like ways to do something similar).
