But, yeah, I think it's pretty amazing that emacs is usable over ssh (no, I don't allow telnet logins to my laptop). Before there's a tirade about ancient lispniks who are out of touch with the real world, I'll point out that I'm an undergrad. Anyway, what other editors except v** and emacs would allow you to do something like that? I think that they're absolutely brilliant. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about emacs being like MS Word. After all, it's clearly superior to emacs because it has buttons along the top for underlining and bolding words, no? Indeed, we should all give up on these silly text editors and use full-featured software like proper office tools. Or even better, we could use powerpoint for everything. Yes, I am trolling. No I'm not serious. > But Xah Lee moaning about long winded posts? Wow! Heh!
