Emacs user here. Emacs' real value is not really in text editing, though it is no slouch in text editing. It does so many other things so well, at this point it is unthinkable for me to not have it.
Eg. OrgMode, Magit, Helm, Tramp, Dired and slime to mention a few. Its a lifestyle ;-)
- nameless_me 6y agoAgree. Emacs is so much more than a text editor, it is more accurately described as a lifestyle. Operating systems are merely bootloaders for Emacs. ;D
- coliveira 6y agoThis confirms my point, people using Emacs are not interested in editing alone, but in a platform for elisp code. That's the reason I prefer vi.
