In grad school in the 80’s I used Emacs. At home around 1984 I got my first PC running MSDOS. For years I used a commercial product that used Emacs keybindings (Epsilon) because Emacs wouldn’t run on my PC. When I went to work at IBM I was disappointed that concerns over the Gnu license forced me to use vi for a few years, but I discovered it to be great an editor for me. I eventually was drawn back to Emacs and now, many years later, I enjoy playing with my config file every week. There is always something new to be added. It’s org mode and magit that make it impossible to leave Emacs. (Right now I’m experimenting with a configuration where I’ve installed the top 600 most popular add on packages at once. I’m kind of using the wisdom of crowds approach to picking packages this time. Next week it will be something else.)
