Emacs is not an editor, is a personal travel to find and build your ultimate editor through the years, a solution that will work forever but only for you.

Yes, is the most powerful tool that ever existed, a beautiful monstrosity, no other editor will let you cherry-picking git commits, handle your agenda, export to PDF, measure the time for a cup of tea and estimate the new project costs. In some point Emacs becomes a part of yourself. Yes it will be loved and tamed only for us, the weirdos, and that is ok.

In 1996 all my friends were asking me why I installed and struggled so many hours with that thing called Linux, when Windows was so easy. "Nobody uses Linux", they told me. Well, Linux made me very good with DevOps tasks, and I finally learned what software is about when I discovered eLisp.

As many other things in this world, Emacs is not for all people.
