Forgive me for being skeptical. Where is this git-time-machine equivalent?

What's the point of the graphics in git-time-machine? The bubble plot seems less useful to me than a readable log. If it were useful there would probably be an equivalent findable from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Magit https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Magit

  The question isn't "do I like these extensions?" It's "does Emacs let you build these extensions?" The Atom developers thought that providing this flexibility was important, which is at least in part why they used the technology they did.

    The first question was "How would you do any of the below?" which is easier to answer when it's apparent what problem an extension is solving. The second question was "Where is this git-time-machine equivalent?" which is easier to answer when one knows what a user is expected to accomplish by using it, specifically the graphical part. I think the Atom developers are doing the right thing now by focusing on performance more than useless graphics. Right now I recommend vscode to other people even though I'll probably always use emacs myself.

Apologies for the slow response. I don't know on the actual charts, as I just don't use that sort of thing. Seeing anything git related and I think magit. Pretty much period. That is, I didn't see the chart. You can do graphics in emacs, though. I typically just use it to show email and inline images for org-mode.

  I did actually know Emacs can do images, as per the well-known opening screen[1], but it's very Web 1.0. [1] https://i.stack.imgur.com/IOd6q.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/IOd6q.png

    Ha, I forgot about the opening screen! Calling it "web 1.0" seems amusingly critical. That said, taking it back to the question at hand, there doesn't seem to be a technical reason you can't do the images in the time machine thing. Most of my emails in gnus show graphically in a correct way. (Some of the more heavily formatted ones mess up, but usually not terribly so.) For a better idea of what it can look like, enable LaTeX previewing inline in a buffer. Again, I'm usually in an org-mode buffer. And I confess I probably can't fight off a "web 1.0" argument. I have not gone for more modern UIs for some time. :( I grant it is a preference, but helm and similar UIs are much preferrable to me over what I typically see in the newer apps.

      It wasn't a value judgement; it's 1.0 more web than my own editor ;).
