    This is how I do it. Emacs has everything you need.

    To quote an old joke. Emacs is a good operating system, the only thing it lacks is a good text editor

    I never tried to use it but this tracks with what I've heard. This blog post is worth sharing: https://www.andrewt.net/blog/vim/index.html (Vim must die and Emacs must not take its place)

    Relevant excerpt:

    Emacs is a sort of medium-sized operating system in which an enterprising user could, in theory, build a text editor.

    I can't recommend enough that everyone read this post, it's great. Funnily enough, it seems that Microsoft of all companies did eventually make the terminal editor he was wishing for: https://github.com/microsoft/edit

    He (Andrew T) shared this new development on Mastodon a couple of months ago but I can't find that post too easily. Maybe I'll ask him to append a note about MS edit to the post.

    I should say I'm pretty biased because I've been using vim since highschool, but the post seems a little crazy. I'm almost wondering it it's parody...

    His palpable hatred towards vim in particular seems irrational though. Felt like much ado about nothing to me. I might be missing something though?
