On mobile so forgive my short reply. I just don't understand why you were getting down voted. I too use Emacs, and another reply mentions that you have to learn Emacs (Elisp, etc) to program your thremes which is just plain incorrect. (See: https://github.com/mkaito/base16-emacs https://github.com/mkaito/base16-emacs) I'm a newish user of Emacs (around two years) having switched from sublime text. I can safely say I don't know much about elisp at all, but hope to some day. I am never stuck in my ways, and always seek out tools that get the job done. Atom is actually quite impressive. Most of my co-workers use it on a daily basis (for JavaScript development). ... Man editing text in HN mobile blows in this tiny ass text box. What keeps me in Emacs is it's philosophy as you said. There is a nice uniformity that the editor provides, and I can do practically anything. Atom has nearly stolen me from Emacs, but there are some issues in the past with some commands that have kept me from switching. Let's see if this new version puts Emacs in my past.
