It's because the people that like emacs don't like Windows. You would see why if you would try something else. If you want emacs to work well on Windows, do it yourself. Nobody owes you anything.
- kungtotte 8y agoNobody owes me, and I'm not asking for anything. I'm just lamenting the fact that things are the way they are. I use both Windows and Linux, which is precisely why I want to use an editor that's properly cross-platform instead of using separate editors or use one that's configured differently based on platform. Maybe you should try Windows? It sounds like you could benefit from broadening your horizons a little bit.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoI used Windows full time until ten years ago. Like many it was my first introduction to computers. I switched to Linux and never looked back even once. I've had to use Windows at work for the last 9 months and it's been an awful experience the whole time. Nothing has changed. If there was no option for a free operating system I would stop using computers in an instant. I won't go back. Ever.
