Too bad Emacs doesn’t have a good text editor.

Modalka for me. It has exactly what you want and no more, which also makes it a lot easier to learn: useful for me that I'm not a programmer.

eMacs takes a life time to learn, so the sooner you start, the longer it will take.

There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.

Emacs is the GOAT computing environment.

I couldn't help but think of Emacs when I was reading A Constructive Look At TempleOS. It's like TempleOS that is actually finished, it just lacks kernel.

just lacks kernel.

Sounds like a trademark of GNU tbh

[–] mea_rah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

GNU Hurd is going to be mainstream any minute now.

I'm sure the port to TempleOS is being worked on as we speak

Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that deep dive into templeOS before and it is a much more interesting OS than I anticipated.

Surely Elon would prefer the old Lucid fork, https://www.xemacs.org/

Late 30s dev here: I've never cared to learn emacs or vim, tried when younger, but left it. Am I a fraud?

I used to be a vim fan but now I only use it for modifying files over SSH. Other than that I code with an IDE, you can't beat all the plugins and linters with a in-terminal editor. A colleague still codes in emacs and its code is dirty af.

PEBKAC - don't blame emacs (not sure why anyone would use it when vim exists, though)
