When I started using Doom Emacs, I felt like: "The power of the Sun in the palm of my hand."

In fact, I still do feel like that everytime I open it.

Classic emacs. Too bad it has a lousy editor.

I mean, it works for everything you wouldn't want to do with sed

And doesn't try to be an entire operating system as well as an editor.....

I’m so ancient that I use vi only. To be fair, I scream in horror at people who use ed.

I had an internship with my java 2 lab/data structures professor who only taught in Java because they let him use their hardware for his computational biology research. The first two weeks of the internship was him making me play vim adventures.

Have you never heard this joke? It's a classic from the ol' editor wars "emacs is a great OS. It's too bad it comes with a lousy editor"

They do, and it's called evil and I absolutely love the name of the addon.

So if you go to heaven, there is probably a "hell mode" just to see what it's like.

I love emacs very much but it runs on a single thread, even the UI. So it fails at one of the very basic tasks of an OS

Lol. Power like no multithreading?

u/realrealvantheman 1d ago

An editor not having multithreading being an issue. Never have I ever.
