Hrm. Decidedly not. It's a nominally modeless editor with no complicated mental creole to translate into from verbing the text like Vi.
- wonderzombie 14y agoOn the other hand, to really get much more out of it than what you'd see in nano or pico, you do need to learn stuff. It's true it's not as bad as Vi in that it doesn't make you drink from the firehose, which I think was your real point. But if you just use Emacs as a glorified TextEdit, why bother?
