You must have accidentally closed it. Closing Emacs or your Web browser are common mistakes, and as you will surely have realized almost immediately, you needed to re-open either program within minutes.

I don't get the important people put on that.

Emacs takes 10 seconds to open. Firefox takes 15. Yes, those are wasted seconds, but it's not like they are anywhere close to the largest wastes of my day. (Hell, I'm writing a comment in HN right now!)

It's different for things like VS, Pycharm, VSCode, or Eclipse. But emacs isn't there.

Thank you for this! This cracked me up.
