Honestly the hardest part about emacs for me has always been documentation. Like how do I build a plugin. What function do I call to set a custom key binding? This stuff has always been so hard to find despite it being so important to the underlying experience. Now that I've used it for a while I know these things, but they didn't come easily.
- dmortin 6y agoThese days you can just google to get answers quickly, just like for any other tool. Stackoverflow, etc. has tons of content for emacs too.
- _peeley 6y agoIt's ridiculous that end users should rely on third parties for reliable documentation. For any other tool, if you wanted to know this kind of builtin functionality it'd be readily accessible in --help, the man page, or first-party online docs. Why should Emacs be an exception?
- tome 6y agoWhat tool do you go to the official docs for first and only Google second? I Google everything first. Am I missing out?
