Reason why I stick with emacs: vi is a great text editor but emacs is a shitty OS... and OS >>>>> text editor.

  wait...what?

    I think he meant: "While vim is a great text editor, I stick with Emacs because it's pretty much an OS in its own right, and even a crappy OS is better than just a text editor." ... I'm a vim user :)

      yeah, i wouldn't use windows 95 over vim either.

      I think that would be a slightly more appropriate claim if Emacs supported multiple threads, or lexical scoping...

        ... or page tables, or a custom filesystem, or the ability to involve a million developers in a battle about which is the "best"... Well, 1 out of 5 isn't a bad start. We should totally develop an EmacsOS and market it as "the most customizable operating system ever".

          I don't think you're very far off with EmacsOS... except I'd imagine it as a EmacFox or Chromacs?
          • palish 18y ago
            Chromacs is good. Its marketing tagline could be "Chromium's mac daddy".

    Apparently the '>>>>>' operator is defined as "divides your total karma score by 2^N". I hope for his sake that the value of 'text editor' is small. :)
