Emacs is a purpose built IDE.
- smt88 10y agoThat isn't how I meant "purpose-built". I meant an IDE tailored to a particular language and ecosystem. For example, there are IDEs that have excellent code generation for Java (not defending the practice of boilerplate getters/setters, just pointing out a feature that people use). There are IDEs with hinting, linting, and debugging built-in and requiring no configuration. My question was: at what point is the ultra-flexibility of Emacs no longer worth it?
