- akagusu 4y agoEmacs is up and running for the last 40 years and it will be for the next 40. Definitely is a software you can bet on.
- lanstin 4y agoYeah. Which Linus uses, so probably works well enough for all non UI work whatsoever. Except maybe SQL?
- faho 4y agoHe doesn't. Linus uses MicroEMACS [0], which is an entirely different editor that uses emacs bindings. It's not the lisp vm that incidentally happens to edit code that GNU Emacs is. Or, as he puts it [1]: > I use this abomination called "micro-emacs", which has absolutely nothing to do with GNU emacs except that some of the key bindings are similar.
