“Slow as shit” is relative, I guess. Vim definitely starts up faster. But to make it more comparable, do you consider “emacs -nw -Q” slow too? What do you get

Vim definitely starts up faster. But to make it more comparable, do you consider “emacs -nw -Q” slow too? What do you get for “time emacs -nw -Q -eval '(kill-emacs)'”?
- giraffe_lady 4y agoYes it is relative, I probably should have been more clear about that. I am basing this entirely off of how it feels to use the tool, rather than measured timings, because I am a person who feels and not a clock that measures. I also don't care all that much! Emacs is slow and also still the best tool for many of my uses. If it's unbearably slow for a given task I just use something else for that.
