To say emacs is not complex is absurd. Still my favorite editor though.

- mrkgnao 10y agoI'd go further and say it's not complex, but rather complicated. In the same way that (forgive the example) the Vim command language is complex, but the Vim source code (gasp) is, well, very complicated. I use Emacs (Spacemacs, so maybe that doesn't count!), though, and I'm willing to live with this if it means it can do what it does! :)
- gkya 10y agoSpacemacs adds a whole lot of packages and subsystems, and a lot of complexity (layers, etc.). Emacs itself is really not complex if you take it as a programming environment. If you take it as an editor, and ignore its Lisp parts, then it's again not complex at all.
