Why do you quit though? I don’t quit other programs... why is Emacs different?
1 comments

I quit and restart Vim dozens of times daily.

I’m not saying there’s something wrong with leaving Emacs running. But it’s a workaround. When I used Emacs, startup time was not a problem. But I didn’t use a bunch of packages.

Emacs is not supposed to be used like vim. The stereotype of living inside emacs doesnt exist for no reason.

Apart from that, without too many paclages stsrtup time is not an issue imo

I never used to quit vim either!
