Do you want a trivial learning curve or do you want power? The people who Emacs will please most are power users who are willing to put in the time to learn it

Do you want a trivial learning curve or do you want power?
The people who Emacs will please most are power users who are willing to put in the time to learn it and configure it to their liking.
- colejohnson66 6y agoBelieve it or not, it’s possible to have something that’s simple to use at first, but as you go deeper, you learn and configure. That idea is what some on this thread refer to as “sane defaults,” but it seems that every Emacs user refuse to change; Some even look down on people who don’t want to put in the effort. IMHO it reeks of smugness and elitism. I’ll concede that one can be extremely productive using Emacs or Vim, but the steadfastness to refuse to adapt to changes in how most developers work isn’t going to help win any arguments.
