I was surprised to see this on pikuma… I guess “ Also... Emacs sucks! ” is ok to end the blog entry. To me it is just hard to use 2-3 figures and it seemed hard for inventory as well. That sucks.
Author here! I remember struggling with the decision of adding that last sentence or not. But at the end I was sure most readers would get that it is obviously a joke. Maybe a bad one but still a joke.
I loved the ending! Glad you kept it in. I’m sure the emacs folks will appreciate the humour in it. And they’re welcome to write their own article on the history of emacs and end it similarly. They’ve probably got a binding for it.
I read it as sincere, gratuitous and unfounded mud-slinging, which made me end this remarkable article on a pretty underwhelming note.
We all have different senses of humor, mine would have needed some caption here :'-)
