"I feel likes it's a rehash of emacs vs vi debate from 30 years ago. Emacs needed many megabytes more than vi so people wouldn't use it." The thing is, this was in fact a valid critique of Emacs back in the day, and it cost Emacs users. I know I stopped using it back then partially because of its resource use (and because it was a lot slower than vi and because of its finger-twisting keyboard shortcuts). If Emacs was as light on resources as vi was back then, it would have more users today. |
