Neat, thank you for posting. Though the biggest problem for me is not technical, but finding a collaborator who uses Emacs...
- gandalfgeek 5y agoOuch! But true. Fortunately, most Emacs users are likely hermits anyway.
- jackewiehose 5y agoso true... in 15 years using emacs I never came across another emacs-user in real life. But even if I would find one and we wanted to use emacs together - How is that supposed to work? My config and how I use it is quite personal. Also I don't understand what it could provide. Screen-sharing can be done with Teamviewer etc.
- wiz21c 5y agoIn about the same time frame, I saw one user in RL, in the train to be exact. And she was not coding, she was like writing some physics paper... And not long ago a few student were mind blown because I was, as they put it, "working in the console" :-) The times they are a'changing...
- Arubis 5y agoWe’re out there, in clusters. The agency I most recently contracted through was probably a quarter Emacs users, and entirely the heavy-collaboration/always-pairing sort of developer.
- ntnsndr 5y agoIt seems to me that the goal should be not to require the other user to be using Emacs, since the underlying data is text files anyway. The open protocol approach seems most exciting, enabling people to use whatever editor they like best with the same documents simultaneously.
