Emacs: the Free Software IDE

"Many people waited a long time to have nice IDEs for Linux. While
everyone else waited I just used Emacs."--Thanyne Harbaugh,
President, Provo Linux Users Group
Emacs is well known as an editor, but calling Emacs an editor is
like calling the Queen Mary a boat. The source RPM for Emacs 21.1
is some 20MB--huge for an editor. You don't have to use all of it,
but sometimes it's nice to know it's there.
Emacs is heavily customizable, which makes it very flexible. For
example, I am writing this article with Emacs and will spell check
it with Emacs. ``Well'', I hear you saying, ``if it's good for
writing articles, it can't be very good for developing software.''
That's where Emacs' flexibility and customization come in; you can
use it for either or for something completely different. Want to
see a shrink, play Tetris or manipulate dates in the Mayan
calendar? Emacs.
