Emacs does provide these features, and it's not too slow at startup either. It's a really nice operating system "abstraction"... too bad that they haven't gotten around to making a good editor for it.
- Klathmon 8y agoA big problem I have with emacs, and I fully acknowledge that it's shallow and superficial, is that it looks bad. I stare at this thing for hours a day, I like it to look nice. That combined with the fact that I'm in JavaScript all day long, so it's super easy to extend and modify Atom, means that it just wins out. Atom is also a LOT easier to pickup than emacs ever was for me, and I tried a few times.
- m45t3r 8y agoSpacemacs looks beautiful tough, and has some pretty nice defaults (for example, it automatically adds a layer for each language you're using, so you have good IDE-like features without fuzzing with packages).
