Emacs is a graphical application to me. That's the default behaviour, how I use it, and what I see people doing things like screencasts use.

- laumars 11y agoThat's not emacs then, it's a Cocoa / Win32 / whatever port of emacs. Unless your talking about "graphical" in the same sense that ncurses is. But either way, emacs default behaviour is a terminal application.
- throwaway999888 11y agoGNU Emacs 24.3.1 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc. `emacs` launches a graphical window. Any objections?
- laumars 11y agoI just installed GNU Emacs on my PC and it seems you're right. I swear that never used to be the case; or maybe I've only ever used emacs on headless servers so it defaulted to the terminal renderer? Weird - but sorry for arguing with you on that point.
