Unrelated, but to anyone from Google. When I search for "emacs" and your product pops up a line saying "Did you mean Vi?" it really makes me want to quit using your search product. Your search is not best in breed anymore, so cute gimmicks like this are a flat turnoff.

- habitmelon 4y agoIt all makes sense. Google is playing the editor factions against each other so they won't contest the Chrome-based Electron editors that prop up their monopoly.
- ews 4y agoThe joke was funny maybe 5 years ago, it's a bit cringe nowadays.
- medstrom 4y ago25 years maybe...
- avar 4y agoIt's interesting that searching for "xemacs" doesn't suggest "emacs", which wouldn't be cute, but actually useful. XEmacs has long been obsolete, so anyone finding old references to it & searching it out is almost certainly helped by being redirected to GNU Emacs.
