Unconfigured emacs is worse than Satan himself user. Grab yourself a decent config first like spacemacs or doom

woooow this bike is garbage

at least it has tetris

emacs thread? Just started using vanilla emacs for my email client. The shortcuts are fairly intuitive. The eww browser is ok too fwiw.

>get on cousins unicycle

I use emacs for everything my man. Program in it, wrote my thesis in it, I even make presentation in it. You just need to do a few tutorials and try to do a project inside it. Its especially good for stats related stuff (better than rstudio imo)

lol he thought emacs was user friendly like sublime or some other pleb editor.
Emacs requires a certain intelligence level to use.
If you can't notice that most the keybindings work with bash and other programs like man and nano you are more hopeless than you think and don't deserve emacs.
I left Vim for emacs and best decision I could have made.

at least it's not vi/vim


:3

What does emacs even have over vim?

more autism.

This, OP cannot stop choking on dick.

tetris

emacs can do anything vi can (using evil) and much more

but is the evil fully supporting plugins?

magit, org-mode

>Emacs requires a certain intelligence level to use.
Wubalubadubdub

I use vim for everything.
Why should I switch to emacs?

Why is emacs so slow to open? I just tried it and it takes noticeably more time to start than vim.

Also, I can definitely tell how people fuck up their hands with this. don't get me wrong, I use the emacs binds for stuff on the cli, but imagine using that shit for all text editing. damn..

Seconded.
Also take a look at Scimax if that's your thing

HAHA THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF Sup Forums

Because vim shouldn't be used for everything.
Where emacs can and is encouraged.
Vim is supposed to only be used for quick text editing.
Most people turn it into an abomination of plugins that weren't meant to be in a shitty scripting language.
Where as emacs was made to never be left.

run the daemon in the background, thats how its supposed to be done.
And then use emacsclient to launch emacs. I put an alias so i dont have to type emacsclient

Yeah, nonmodal editing is harder on the hands than modal editing.

Just use nano with syntax highlighting

I'm gonna try this doom-emacs thing from a vim background, if this doesn't go well I'm coming after you.

Don't waste my time, user.

Is guile emacs ready yet?
