I really wish Emacs had smooth scrolling, indent guides and that Minimap. Those are some killer features that you can't just implement in Emacs' scripting language.
edit: minimap exists! (Obviously only in GUI Emacs)
Animated sub-line scrolling probably requires hacking the Emacs source. Indent guides might be possible just in elisp, but I don't know how good they would look.
- est 15y ago> you can't just implement in Emacs' scripting language. you can't implement minimap in CLI. It's a GUI concept.
- thristian 15y agoNow now, let's not be hasty. Here's a text-mode app with thumbnails across the bottom of the screen: http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/neercs http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/neercs
- sodiumphosphate 15y agoYeah but that looks like caca now, doesn't it?

- nyellin 15y agoLet me point out that the Emacs minimap is way cooler than that of SublimeText. Check out the semantic overlays.

- nyellin 15y agoYou can add indent guides to Emacs. Look for the first result in google.
