The pyramids were built with emacs. Everything else is drywall to me now. More work? Yes. Worth it though.

I like to say gnu+emacs is my OS, and linux is simply my kernel.

Org-mode alone would be worth it.

Emacs may need to be renamed to stEmacs, sixteen megs and constantly swapping. It's no longer 8 megs. :(

If you want tiny gnu editor, just use nano. They fixed the file corruption bug right?

There is also GNU zile and zemacs[0].

If you want actually tiny gnu editor, use ed.

I use it fairly regularly and the lack of any distracting UI is a fresh breeze compared to the overloaded editors out there.

I wouldn't know if nano fixed a file corruption bug or not. I use emacs.

I don't think the 8-meg phrase was ever the official name of the program that "emacs" stands for.
