Dired, diff, Linum. Seems to cover these examples pretty well.
I think most people think of emacs as an overly complicated text editor and don't really ask themselves if they should consider learning emacs when they want a diff tool or a file navigator.
- __MatrixMan__ 4y agoI think the point of textual isn't so much "look what you can do with it." Most of what it does is possible with ncurses also, if you're really committed. But neither ncurses nor emacs feel like modern UI development tools, and that feel (e.g. styling with css) is important to a lot of people.
