You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs
Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one
The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor
That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done
oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?
Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.
I saw that reply and figured I'd just let the whippersnappers enjoy themselves π
it's a healthy sign of a community when dad jokes enter the cultural milieu as something that's passed from generation to generation. we inherited these jokes, handed them down, and someday they'll be handed down again
Grandpa, will you tell me the story about the black and orange computer screens please?
Next thing you know people aren't going to know that EMACS stands for Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping. Or why that's funny.
Today I learned
Well, seeing as I'm more than a decade younger than emacs... I guess so?
That's why evil-mode exists
How dare you. I'm sending the church of emacs after your ass.
Free software song starts playing
Surely someone has used the built-in Lisp interpreter to emulate a feature exact
nano.Just open the file in Vim?
C-x M-c M-butterfly
https://xkcd.com/378/
And the only thing preventing us mortals from having such power is the lack of a
butterflykey on our keyboardsyea, emacs even has a doctor
Why do you say that?
M-x doctor
In emacs, ESC then x then type doctor, I remember this from 30 years ago
Is it because you say βI remember this from 30 years agoβ that emacs has a doctor?
Is it possible to downvote a comment twice?
Upvote it first.
Genius!
I am a firm believer of (neo)vim being the pinnacle of editing. My workdays start with vim and end with vim. But vim is not the everything app, which the e in emacs probably stands for.
HOWEVER, there are vim plugins for almost everything, which is pretty cool. This point goes to you, emacs rivals. Let's keep it between us and not the vs code or IDE weirdos
Only acceptable in eVil form
Doom Emacs for those who have truly ascended.
Everyone should Doom themselves
Neovim*
nvim
I don't even agree with the meme and I hate this comment.
It should be Neovim and Lua. Nobody should be subjected to the curse and torment of writing Elisp.
How the fuck did you beat me to it and get so many up votes so fast
