  To be fair, Linus uses uemacs. He says "real" emacs is the tool of the devil ;-) https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LinusTorvalds/posts/iySKQGtkmtb https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LinusTorvalds/posts/iySKQGtkmtb

    And the last line of the last commit to his uemacs repo is, "I really should just learn another editor, rather than continue to polish this turd." http://git.kernel.org/cgit/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/diff/?id=fa00fe882f719351fdf7a4c4100baf4f3eab4d61 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/diff/?i...

      You mean the last line of the commit message, at http://git.kernel.org/cgit/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/commit/?id=fa00fe882f719351fdf7a4c4100baf4f3eab4d61 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/commit/.... Your link just shows the code diff.
