> My desktop editor of choice is not and likely never will be emacs
That is a shame. Why?
That is a shame. Why?
Also to be clear, because I know people can be touchy about editor preferences: I say this only as an analogy for the feeling I get, not as an analogy for users who use emacs or other tools.
For whatever reason emacs just feels like I'm using left-handed scissors, and I'm not left handed.
It doesn't mean I don't think people should use emacs, it just doesn't feel right in my hands.
I’m teaching my son to code and we use emacs only for magit. He may get more and more exposure down the road, but for now that’s enough to justify what little bare minimum learning curve is needed to get a great git porcelain.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your opinion. Do you like to tinker with things in general? That is a common personality trait that I have seen amongst many of fellow Emacs users. I enjoy tinkering with all kinds of things, so Emacs fits my personality well.
Though, sometimes it's easy to get distracted tinkering instead of actually doing productive work (for me, at least). I still say that my Emacs config has been my single longest running "project."
>also copy paste just doesn't work without pulling teath.
What do you mean?
