 ** Ivy
 
-   Let's try [[http://oremacs.com/swiper/][Ivy]] in favor of helm.
+   [[http://oremacs.com/swiper/][Ivy]] is a completion system, giving you completions and fuzzy search whenever
+   you interact with the minibuffer. I transitioned to Ivy from [[https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/][Helm]], mainly
+   due to it being aesthetically noisy, and that I didn't fully take advantage
+   of all its features (which are numerous). Here are some customization's that
+   made the transition a bit easier.
