Does Emacs also have text editor?

[ArchOversight]

No, it's an operating system. Sadly they left out the text editor.

[sarahlwalks]

There actually is a text editor in there somewhere at least if you believe some of the MIT neckbeards. But you have to sort of tease it out with the proper meta key what-have-yous

[galangalalgol]

You can install vi into emacs, and vi is the best text editor.

[alexvoda]

You can however use a facsimile of Vim called Evil.

i once had a fax machine running on emac

[krylon]

You can always open eshell and run ed(1), as it is the standard editor. ;-)

It's no Acme but it's still pretty good. For me at least it's a sight better than modal editors like Kakoune, those just don't mesh well with how my brain works; Emacs' keyboard chording is far more pleasant.

[coliveira]

No, but some people insist in use it for this purpose.

[dist-epoch]

It does, but it's a pretty mediocre one.
