Why GNU Emacs?
Apparently, I&#x27;m feeling ranty today...<p>&lt;rant&gt;I&#x27;ve used Vi and Emacs as my primary editor. Now I&#x27;ve moved on to Sublime Text 3. Despite being powerful tools Vi and Emacs have probably harmed the state of Unix text editing. They&#x27;ve kept antiquated UIs from before keyboards were an text editing UIs were standardized. It&#x27;s kinda sad that MS Dos, Windows and MacOS have all had a plethora of powerful editors with convenient standard user interface meanwhile the Unix world is anchored to Vi and Emacs. It seems like they&#x27;ve managed to starve out a good chunk of innovation on this front.
