I've been using emacs for 35+ years. It does everything I need to do. If it doesn't, it has lisp. And then it does.
I only use fundamental-mode.
Emacs, like lisp, is "clay for the mind". You can adapt it to any task easily.
- Scarbutt 5y agoI only use fundamental-mode. Why? do you use emacs for programming (besides elisp)?
- greggman3 5y agoI've been using programmable editors for 35+ years. They all do everything emacs does and more and are just as adaptable.
- BeetleB 5y agoSorry, but which programmable editor lets me read/send email, create TODOs that link both to a relevant email, and a line of code in another file, and let's me autocreate flash cards?
- pjmlp 5y agoI bet there is a VSCode or Sublime plugin for that. But if you prefer something more oldie, there are plenty of plugins for Ultraedit, Notepad++ and similar with scripting support.
- agumonkey 5y agoand emacs is already so packed.. even after rtfm 3 times thoroughly (or so I thought) I learn there's something else I didn't know about maybe the only thing I'd like to see more center, is a blend of crdt / live-notebook in simple buffers. This could be very benefitial to newcomers too.. you can pair tutor, enjoy things in teams right inside your window
