So what, you don't CTRL-[ then? You seriously ESC all the time?

it's trying to be a lisp machine since Stallman couldn't build one himself.

What would be a fitting term for this ?
Thomas Jones
An extensible text editor. I would really like a rewrite with a modern core based either on guile or another sane language rather than elisp.
I use neovim for this very reason (vimscript sucks though) until I'm annoyed enough to write my own. I do however value being able to run a terminal in a buffer and proper text rendering which is something needed for modern editor work (this could be a plugin).
Ethan Ward
Can you rephrase that in English you stupid faggot?
Connor Howard
Sure, I could also rip out several of my teeth to make it sound more English.

>People complain about Atom and VS Code being web browser.
>Emacs is an actual operating system.
Joseph Perry
do people not know what an operating system is at all?
Gavin Richardson
it's a system that's operating
Brandon Reed
No, what you expect?
Christopher Lewis
why use ed when you have sam
Jonathan Diaz
funnily enough, atom is very similar to emacs in design and javascript was actually based on scheme
Samuel Wood
porting plan9 to Unix is like Stallman porting his lisp machine. it's just sad. Let it go; Unix won
Ayden Lopez

Javascript is Scheme's aborted rape baby.
Adam Morris
And yet JS is the better language.
Nathan Baker
You're just sticking up for your fellow rape baby.

It's easier to exit from emacs than from vim. So for lots of quick edits in different config files emacs
Easton Hill
Is it? ZZ is pretty easy.
Gavin Perry
editing conf files on cli: vim/nano
everything else: emacs
I do my dissertation in emacs (markdown mode for small stuff, auctex for LaTeX) with like 7 minor modes.
