Emacs has existed 40 years, do you assume it'll just go away?

- wolpoli 4y agoI probably shouldn't have used the word viability. It will probqbly survive, but will it getting the latest features and adopting to trends if it has a small market share?
- ParetoOptimal 4y agoI would bet that emacs has a better chance than vscode of getting the latest features and adopting to trends in 10 years. For a recent example of adopting to trends, see the amount of time it took for lsp integration to 1) exist in external plugins and then 2) be put into emacs itself after lsp proved to be something that will likely stick around for a bit.
