I have finally seen the Emacs light
Just got to say this to all you netbeaners, eclipsers etc out there.<p>Today i finally groked what makes Emacs so good. I havent groked Emacs itself yet but all the IDEs i have tried have disappointed, they are big, slow and ugly and hard to navigate easily and there is a lot fo unnecessary clutter which you sometimes can and sometimes cannot take away.<p>Emacs has a bit of a barrier of entry but as soon as you learn some keyboard-kung-fu it will make you very productive.<p>Jump between buffers, run an interpreter, search your code,   etc.<p>So powerful and so elegant. Emacs captures the essence of good software.
