Hmm, I don't feel that saying his post is FUD really contributes to the goal of having this thread not turn into a flamewar.
Edit: also, my question was not a yes-or-no question, but you answered with a yes-or-no answer.
- tikhonj 14y agoI guess I wasn't sufficiently clear: the answer is no, because spreading around the idea that Emacs isn't modern is counter-productive. I guess your question wasn't "yes or no". Then the answer is: we shouldn't. If we ignore the fact that he claims Emacs/Vim are "very hard to learn, ugly, lack many modern features", people will start just assuming that it's all true. And, as I mentioned earlier, this will scare people away from truly great editors needlessly.
