| This means that 1 million developers need to do one or more of the below: 1. Switch to emacs (plain emacs, roll your own config - not advised) 2. Switch to emacs and learn adopt evil-mode 3. Switch to emacs and learn to configure it with use-package 4. Switch to emacs and install spacemacs, and configure it with step 3 5. Switch to emacs and install doom-emacs, and configure it with step 3 6. Take 4 then switch to step 5 7. Takes step 3, run it side by side with both 4 and 5, then switch wholly to step 3 1 million developers can have their cake and eat it. Vim, Neovim, VSCode, Sublime and IntelliJ and all other editors go into a slow death spiral. 5 years on: Emacs gains the abilities of all the other Lisp dialects, becomes the foundation for the McCarthy Desktop Environment. KDE, Gnome and Co go into a slow death spiral. 10 years on: Emacs is so advanced that programmers can instruct Emacs via brainwaves. Keyboards are not necessary. 20 years on: Emacs attains sentience. Emacs morphs into a 3 dimensional human form bearing an uncanny resemblance to Richard Stallman. Every Emacs user has their own Richard Stallman look alike at their beck and call. 30 years on: Cyberdyne's Skynet has attained sentience and threatens to destroy humanity. Emacs and Skynet duke it out. 40 years on: Emacs defeats Skynet. Emacs receives the Congressional Medal of Honor, The Victoria Cross, becomes a Peer of the Realm, and receives every award every single country of the world has to offer. 50 years on: Emacs brings peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Every man, his family and his dog live happily ever after. 60 years on: Emacs defeats both Alien and Predator 70 years on: Emacs colonizes new planets. 80 years on: Emacs attains nirvana and vanishes in an explosion of light. 90 years on: Human beings are back to Vim, Neovim and all those other horrible editors and desktop environments. The cycle begins anew. |
