The writer is incredibly knowledgable. But all of this is completely unapealing. To me this isn't power, it is just learning a lot more things.

- fn-mote 1y agoThe power comes from the ease with which you can adapt your workflow to varying requirements. If this description doesn’t cover areas you need to work in, forget it. An example: you need to do a bunch of work in a pipeline, but at one point during development you want to stop, examine the output, possibly edit it, and then finish the pipeline. In this case, doing the work in emacs feels good because you can put the intermediate results in a buffer. Not life changing, but nice.
- unixhero 1y agoYeah that sounds cool. I will keep an open mind and dip my toes into it at one point.
- wwarner 1y agoI liked all the parts that were not about eshell. Wdired and its cousin wgrep are killer. I didn't see much value in the eshell examples provided.
