Not sure how you get that from:
> Lots of people come to Emacs familiar with VS Code, and they say, "Please make Emacs more like VS Code. Change everything that you did in the 1980s and 90s to be like that other thing." That wouldn't be feasible even if we wanted to. Our goal is not to be... not resembling VS Code. Any resemblance is coincidental.
- tsuujin 4y agoIt is probably the “change everything that you did in the 1980s and 90s to be like that other thing”. He wasn’t quoting someone, he was being hyperbolic. Hyperbole that says “if you don’t like it exactly like I made it than you’re unreasonable and your demands doubly so”.
