I have been using Emacs for about 20 years, and I love that you can use it on Windows and Linux and character mode and GUI. Love the programmability and the keyboard shortcuts.
Where it sucks though is programming language smarts such as "intellisense" completion. Even something basic such as syntax coloring doesn't work reliably--depends on the mode implementation and most of them are buggy.
I get by in other editors such as Visual Studio and VSCode by downloading emacs emulators.
- na85 7y agoIntellisense was something I was missing for years. I contribute to a large C#/netcore project and it was a pain to use emacs until I discovered OmniSharp-Roslyn[0]. Auto code completion works pretty much flawlessly for me now. [0] - https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-emacs
- OrderlyTiamat 7y agoI have never got omnisharp to work reliably- spent quite a bit of time on it, too. I'm wondering if I should try again or just give up...
