> Finally, a few alternative editors are genuinely useful, nano - it might be inferior in pretty much every regard to Emacs, but it's not possible to shrink Emacs to nearly the size of nano so it does seem to serve a valuable purpose for when disk space or memory footprint is an issue.
I'm an emacs user too, and I now use zile ( http://www.gnu.org/software/zile/ http://www.gnu.org/software/zile/ ) instead of nano. The ability to use the same keyboard shortcuts that i'm used to is a godsend.
- sigzero 16y agoYou don't need nano when you have vi on every install anyway.
- weaksauce 16y agoThe gp is an emacs user and zile is a bare bones emacs. If you are a proficient emacs user going to vi is going to be torturous even on small projects. I am a vim user and I see why the gp would want to skip vim and use something comfortable.
