Sounds like a replication of Unix inside an editor if you ask me.
- vslavkin 1y agoWell, yes. I'd say that's what emacs is. A framework for, mostly, text based applications in lisp. The advantage is its "unified interface". Everything is configured in the same language, uses mostly the same keybinds, and can easily be integrated with other apps of the framework.
- anthk 1y agoIf every Unix tool outputed TSV, yes. In Emacs everything it's Elisp.
- input_sh 1y agoWait until you learn many of the default bash keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl + A / E to move to the beginning/end of the line) actually come from emacs.
- BeetleB 1y agoI know you meant it as a criticism, but Emacs years view it as a feature.
