Oh man, Emacs is wonderful! hehehe...just like Unix, it's picky about its
friends. I have problems going back to VI after having used Emacs for some
time. All you have to remember (yeah, right eh?) is your keymapping for
your control and your meta keys.
Talk about your Integrated work environment....you can read and send mail
in Emacs, work with directories, you can run UNIX shell commands so that
you don't have to drop out of Emacs, print from Emacs and read man
pages...all without having to leave Emacs! *sigh*
I occassionally still find myself using C-x C-s to save a file. ('C' being
Ctrl)
Yeah, GUIs are fun, but I really have fun working at the command line. So,
maybe I'm archaic and a throwback....
