I’ve used emaca for a pretty long time- since about 2001- but in all that time I’ve never felt the need to become a super power user- it just does the basics really well. I guess that’s all I really wanted. I use it for coding and I use org mode. I like the auto-indentation, which to this day no other editor can match, I like the syntax highlighting.
Here are my beefs though:
1- you have to jump through hoops to get melpa to work- I have to research this again every time I install it.
2- the auto indent and syntax mode for shader language has to be installed manually
3- ido-mode isn’t turned on by default
I’m one of those doofuses that uses cua mode all the time too. Sue me, I just want an editor that works and emacs is very good for code editing. I don’t care about the power editor moves which I forget 5 minutes after learning anyway.
