maybe don't use emacs

editor doesn't matter much

[spark vault]

yeah editor doesn't matter as long as you're comfortable

pro tip: use vim

alternatively, use notepad

[spark vault]

I think vim has unfortunately won the editor war

basically every terminal tool these day supports vim keys for navigation

emacs keys are based on chords and doesn't integrate well in stuff

well at least you don't need anything else other than emacs so that's a nonproblem

[frigid swallow]

emacs does not let you be productive and thats why all emacs users retire early from industry and some become professors, thats why all professors indoctrinate new students in emacs, meanwhile vim users are elite neo hackermans

how 2 exit vim is most asked on SO

vim users just have weak pinkies

can't embrace the control key

I can do C-x C-c C-e C-f M-t to summon my laser cannon used to scare beginners away

dont confuse new smooth brained emac refugees on SO with vim users

those are just people tired of carpal tunnel
