@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.
@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. 🙄
@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!
@kensanata @GeekDaddy I found it worked well until I tried to Grep or use TRAMP, which were both very frustrating experiences! 😄
@amdt @GeekDaddy Yeah. I found grep easy enough to add but tramp still doesn’t work the way I want it on Windows. 😭
@kensanata @amdt I'm not saying it's bad editor - I use it every day for everything
