I'm not an emacs power user. I use emacs solely.
Compared to me the author feels like a power user of emacs (or was one) and is making broad arguments against the existence of people like me: not power users.
I've never run into these issues they talk about and I don't really know elisp.
Mostly, over vim, I just like chord editors more than modal editors. If a more modern terminal-based chord editor came out I'd try it.
- criddell 4y agoI think his point is that you cannot use Emacs solely. You probably need a browser and a spreadsheet and lots of other software.
- tmtvl 4y agoBut Emacs has browsers and spreadsheet programs and a lot of other software. Out of the box it even comes with a great editor.
- scruple 4y agoCan nano or pico do it? Can vim do it out of the box? For that matter, how does VSCode stand up to "very large" CSV files? I really don't know but I suspect this is less of an Emacs "problem" than it is a matter of fact for most editors that aren't specialized to the specific task of "very large" CSV files.
