I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by not knowing emacs.
I tried to learn emacs once, and the tutorial started with "I've been using emacs for about 25+ years and I'd say I'm about a middle of the road user"... that was when I was like, "No, I'll just keep using IntelliJ or vscode or whatever".
It's not that I love or even care about any IDE, I just literally haven't the first clue as to even get started with emacs. So what should I do if I want to give it a second chance?
- cryptolake 5y agoYou should take a look at doom emacs.
- d_tr 5y agoYou could keep using your current IDE and use Emacs for the simpler tasks while you are learning it at whatever pace is convenient for you. I am a new Emacs user. I decided to give it a try about ten days ago, so I followed the built-in tutorial, read a bit about minor and major modes, buffers, global and buffer-local variables and it started making sense. The online documentation is extensive and the built-in documentation system is very easy to use.
