How is your personal preference relevant at all under a comment of enterprise-level setup? You are going to ask everyone in the company to use emacs?

  Everyone in my company uses emacs, except the few who use vi. There is one guy who uses VSCode. I have no idea what he uses to type text documents for human consumption. So, sure. Use whatever tool works for you. Kind of bizarre you're wanting everyone to use Word and Edge (and Win 11). I mean... you should use what works for you. But you shouldn't freak out when people use different things. I hear some people use Macs, for instance. I mean... most of my daily effort goes into supporting a bank. There's A LOT of mainframe stuff. Some COBOL. Some guys using AIX (actually, a surprising number of guys using AIX) and (as mentioned previously, xterms and emacs or vi.) On the dev side there's more focus on file format standards than tools. So use whatever tool that generates files in the appropriate format. We probably could use Win11, but they started using AIX in the 90s and just never got around to moving to Windows.

    And how is this useful and why should another company care about how things work at your company? Shouldn't those companies focus on more on the productivity tools their employees use?

      Person 1: I have a problem. Suggestions? Person 2: Here is a suggestion. Person 3: How dare you offer a suggestion when someone asked for suggestions!
