For the EMACS guru's in this thread I have a question.
How practical is EMACS for a non-programmer? My preferred environment is FreeBSD + i3WM. I'm a sysadmin, I have no programming skills so anything beyond tweaking the odd configuration file is of no interest to me.
I know that being able to write elisp is a major component of using emacs, but how usable is it without being able to write your own programs?
- cvdub 4y agoAs a sysadmin you’re probably very tech savvy, so Emacs should be very usable for you without ever learning elisp. This video by a self professed non-programmer about using Emacs in the broader Unix ecosystem might pique your interest enough to give it a try: https://youtu.be/qTncc2lI6OI https://youtu.be/qTncc2lI6OI
