pls don't say that :( there's exactly 0 ppl in the world who get paid for writing emacs. nobody is selling the editor as snake oil liniment that ought to remove all the grievances.
> No localisation
what do you mean? I can read/type in emacs in all 3 human lang I know/use daily.
> No tabs
true
although `M-x speedbar` can display the list of all open buffers in a vertical fashion
> Window cannot be maximised prior to setting some obscure option
I usually just press F11
> Menu items and buttons do not have underlined letters (i.e. accelerators)
true
> The vast majority of the options cannot be accessed through the menu
true
> or dialogues, instead you get a non-editable document with embedded buttons
why do you care if it's not a 'native' dlg? the mouse works. C-s works.
> Configuration is stored as code
hehehe
that's the whole point, m8!
> Keys cannot be rebound from the menu.
true
> The list could go on and on
I was hoping you'd mention the idiocy (I cannot find a more proper word) w/ buffers that have long lines. every time I open some 2MB xml file that was generated as 1 string, emacs suddenly becomes dog slow. this is what should be criticized, not the inability to rebound keys from the menu, imo.
