I started using Emacs because I got really tired of all different
programs I had to learn to do all different kinds of programming, web
authoring etc. It just took too much time learning all these different
environments. Wasted time.
Actually I felt I was just kind working for those companies that sold
all these proprietary programming tools I used. Struggling with all the
problems and constraints they had. Learning Emacs instead seem to be
something that would be good in the long run.
And beside that Emacs let me use my vi typing skills and that makes it
quite a bit easier for me to do things quickly.
So I try to use Emacs for most editing and writing. Though I am using
Thunderbird as my mail client. I found it too hard to get any Emacs mail
client working on MS Windows. The instructions unfortunately did not
seem trustworthy for MS Windows and I depend on that my mail client
works without problems.
