Emacs is incredibly stable. Most problems happen in custom-made packages. I don't even remember Emacs ever segfaulting for me on Linux. On Mac it can happen, but very rarely. I don't ever remember losing my data in Emacs - even when I deliberately kill the process, it recovers the unsaved changes.
- rudy6912 11mo agoFor me, Emacs on Mac OS is not all that stable. I see a freeze about twice a month, which is not "very rarely" in my book. It also leaks memory, albeit now (in the upcoming version) less so. (Disclaimer: I am a heavy user and contributor.)
- iLemming 11mo agoWhat version of Emacs are you using? I stopped using Mitsuharu port because of its weird behaviors and instability and been using plain GNU/Emacs - typically I install it via emacs-plus homebrew formula. It's been very stable for me for the past few years.
