@amdt depends how you look at it. The one thing could be text manipulation. Things such as using git, emails even file browsing are text manipulation, at it's basic of course. So from this perspective it's unix way of living but than you have thrown at it all that lisp machine philosophy. In the end, I think it depends on how you use it
@amdt @GeekDaddy W00t!? Emacs was the best editor to use when I was using GNU/Linux, Mac, and Windows all at the same time. Also, clearly the best IRC client on Windows. 🙄
@kensanata @amdt I'm not saying it's bad editor - I use it every day for everything
@GeekDaddy Sure, I was just trying to give a response to “far less useful on non-Unix systems like Windows” by @amdt 😀
@kensanata @amdt on Windows it's one of the best ways to get proper terminal xD
@GeekDaddy @amdt And when you want a shell that works on all three systems, eshell isn't too bad!
@GeekDaddy I think about this a lot as well. Emacs is interesting in that it doesn’t appear to fit within the ‘doing one thing well’ Unix philosophy, but it’s also far less useful on non-Unix systems like Windows.
