I used jrnl.sh for about a year. I was able to extend it to parse the output so I could do some analysis on what I had written (I was using it partially to track time spent on certain tasks). However, I came to find that write long-form on the command line is just awkward. Lately I have been using checkvist.com which has been working out great.

In case you hadn't seen this jrnl has a config option for setting the default editor. http://jrnl.sh/recipes.html#external-editors

I always use jrnl with vim, and never compose on the commandline.
