Just effing stop. This shit sounds like Y2K jokes - you're only making a fool of yourself. Lazy setup, zero insight - these jokes void of humor, irony, or even a pinch of truth. Anyone who opens their mouth about Emacs not having decent editing simply has no idea what modern Emacs can offer there. Emacs has hands-down the best plain text editing features unmatched by anything else. Don't even think of challenging me on this sentence; as someone who used a bunch of different editors, I will chew you up and spit you out like a pistachio even before the actual debate.




You might try taking the shells off before chewing them up, then you don't have to spit out crushed shells all over the place (a real turn-off in my book), and can swallow the nuts without lacerating your digestive system.


watch out y'all, we got a real navy-seal-badass over here

Okay, prove me wrong on that claim that Emacs has plain text editing features unmatched by anything else. Give it a try.
