  GNU Emacs or XEmacs? Or ?...
  - softwarejim 19y ago
    GNU Emacs on Windows, but not for any special reason. Help convince me, is XEmacs better?
    - tjr 19y ago
      Not necessarily better. I was just being silly, really; haven't used XEmacs myself for years. XEmacs was a fork off of GNU Emacs. They did some good things with the software, but they were loose in their legal matters, and accordingly the FSF never accepted XEmacs code back into the GNU Emacs mainline.

    It took me forever to figure out that xemacs isn't emacs for X

    or (shudder) Emacs.NET ! http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1069 http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1069 the horror.. the horror.. Any good recursive acronyms for it? http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/gnuemacs.acro.exp.html http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/gnuemacs.acro.exp.html

http://xkcd.com/378/ http://xkcd.com/378/ The alt-text makes most xkcd cartoons; they're not complete without it.
- mhartl 19y ago
  Yes; this PNG is not a complete xkcd comic. Whoever submitted this (I'm looking at you, anirbas :-) will now have to reread every xkcd comic to get the alt text, too. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, mouse over any xkcd cartoon and leave it there for a few seconds. (Firefox users: install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1715 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1715 first.) For those didn't know: I feel your pain. That was me about six months ago.

GUI kids like me like gedit, but on the terminal I don't see how anyone uses anything except vi! Yeah the alt text is sort of important too... I never realized there was any until I went on IE at someone else's computer though. Stupid firefox!
