I think I ended up using Emacs for almost as many things as possible; - -This is where I want to be in the near future. So far I've moved my development environment and email to Emacs. Next up are notes, RSS reading, and music listening. - -What I love about Emacs is the consistency between modes/packages. They accomplish widely different things, but the general control scheme is the same. It's great since all TUI programs I use tend to support Vim's way of doing things. Having it all inside Emacs changes the dynamic. I'm trying to think of Emacs as a shell rather than an editor. - -What Emacs really is, is a virtual machine running LISP code. Some say that Emacs violates Linux philosophy. I don't see it this way. Does shell violate it? It's also a way to run different programs. Emacs is an abstraction over real shell which adds some calm to it. It's a way to have an interactive layer over OS... which also does text editing. - -So, when you look at it this way, Emacs makes a lot of sense: - -- It runs programs. Bigger packages, like Magit, are nothing short of real programs. -- It's scriptable. Elisp all the way! -- It allows for interoperability between programs. -- It runs above basic OS. You can replace your window manager with Emacs, but you need some sort of kernel. -- You can live entirely inside Emacs, just like you can live entirely inside a terminal. |
