Hopefully this is in line with what you're looking for: Thank you, but I am not entierly sure what I am looking at -- the Emacs you are showing is not from 1985. What does the percentage mean? All of those look similar to me, other than black/light background when it comes to color selection. There is I think very little commonality between the edtiors in general in what they show. This doesn't seem to be a default Emacs screenshot? The menu-bar is different. I did some basic analysis with R (the language is a pain, but it's well suited for quick stuff like this). * Basic editor theme comparison Emacs doeesn't seem to be listed? All the modes you show are programming modes, Emacs is more often than not used in other context so things like line-number-mode do not make much sense, like in the splash screen. Emacs doesn't treat everything as a nail.
