He literally says why at the top of the post. People find it too complicated.
- taeric 4y agoI confess I didn't get that the post was about emacs. Reading the intro, it sounds more like it assumes nobody ever implemented something. And then goes on to describe what sounds a lot like how emacs works.
- db48x 4y agoThat’s the impression I got as well, since it never mentions Emacs at all and then describes exactly how Emacs works.
- 0xCMP 4y agoNo, he says most people do not actually implement the interface to make it make sense. So they have to make ctrl-z and ctrl-shift-z do the logical linear thing which requires all sorts of craziness which is what is complicated to do correctly (e.g. without breaking user expectations).
- fuckstick 4y agoNo they don’t. The method they are praising is already the base implementation for emacs.
