I know that you are a stalwart Emacs supporter — I've seen your posts before, and still remember your airplane awakening — but don't you think that more carrot than stick would be more effective at convincing people to use Emacs?
- iLemming 1y agoI may not sound nice at times, but I strive to be kind. Kindness implies honesty. Why is it easier to learn a foreign language around kids? Because kids (with no malice in their hearts) would tell you the truth - when you mispronounce things, they'd laugh at your mistakes. When it comes to spreading truth about Emacs, I'd rather be like a kid. I don't think the comment above justified characterizing it as a "stick", but I suppose that is something you wanted to say to me long ago, and I appreciate your veracity. If you give me more constructive suggestions for changing my rhetoric, I may even promise to consider changing my narrative, but at this point, I don't even see what's wrong with it, really.
