Hmm, I've always found it odd how many people say they use emacs, but not for "quick" tasks. It's not like it takes long to start it up -- on my machine, emacs -f kill-emacs takes 0.12 seconds.
- edu 19y agoOn one of my old machines, development server not my desktop: edu@galileo:~$ time emacs -f kill-emacs real 0m1.421s user 0m0.092s sys 0m0.052s edu@galileo:~$ time vim --cmd :q real 0m0.016s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.004s I have to add that if I run again emacs it loads pretty fast, but the first time it's slooow. edu@galileo:~$ time emacs -f kill-emacs real 0m0.136s user 0m0.068s sys 0m0.044s
