Your comment fails to offer a counter-argument to the comment you are replying to; you are just repeating the position that the comment explicitly refutes.
> Or are you stating that the WHO is lying?
In fact, the site linked in the comment explicitly states that.
> Spreadsheets are a clear precedent for any live data project. In particular, I would like to call out Glen Chiacherri’s Flowsheets project, which explores how to give spreadsheets the power of conventional programming, while maintaining the immediacy and casualness of the good old grid. PANE aspires to this same blend of power and immediacy.
Other people use The old reader which looks and feels like the old Google Reader.
Perl 5 (a.k.a Perl) and Perl 6 are different languages.
I guess it is targeted at people that are already well-versed in Perl 6 (or at least Perl 5)? Maybe it should say so at the top so that people like me do not get a terrible first impression of it.
- Write a comment on the article's talk page about a spelling mistake in the article itself? If so, why not directly modify the article?
- Modify an existing comment on the talk page to correct a spelling mistake in that comment? If so, I can see why that would be seen as étiquette-breaking.
Most of them.
That's factually wrong. The word "free software" was invented before.

But does it offer an access to the main docs? When I type "spacemacs" in there I get an empty README.md.

Yep, but I'm not an Emacs user so I do not know them!

Well, you can try :h for yourself...

They are talking about removing Ex mode, not ex commands!

I don't believe in Vim you get an easy way to create a buffer that has a name that is not a filename...
Among the problems and warts:
- The Spacemacs doc is on their repo, not in Emacs! (except if you manually fire a buffer with SPC f f ~/.emacs.d/doc/DOCUMENTATION.md)
- Emacs has an interactive interface for editing configuration variables. You will arrive to this interface from the Emacs doc, but it does not have Spacemacs-like keybindings and I'm not even sure it's supposed to work with Spacemacs
- I could not find the doc for ex/vim commands. I suspect there is no equivalent to ":h :foo"
- In vim, it is possible from any mode to get back to the normal mode by typing 'ESC'. In Emacs, C-g aborts a keybinding. However those two are not unified by Spacemacs.
- I use vim with several buffers. However launching "emacsclient -t foo.txt bar.txt" will open them sequentially, and I can not use :n / :N to go back and forth.
- The fact that there are several interactive interfaces for switching buffers and/or opening files is confusing. Typing a file-name in helm-mini creates a "fundamental" buffer that is not a file. I lost some work because of this.
If there were just one or two of these warts and inconveniences, I would get use to them or fix them, but right now there are a little too much. That said, the premise is really attractive, so I can only hope these problems will get fixed over the years so that I can go back to it someday.
No you don't.
