I go over how to use the keys as fields, and some other common problems.
The current project I work on has 292908 LOC, and Code to Test Ratio: 1:1.1.
1: "Hey try this configuration until you're up to writing your own."
2: "Which one?"
1: "my .emacs"
Rather than being able to Google: "Emacs Prelude" or "Emacs Starter Kit".
As for educating new users, most people simply don't have the time or regard to build an Emacs configuration that they can be productive with right away from day 1. There's just too much to know all at once. Emacs configurations such as the Emacs Starter Kit and Prelude provide a centralized place for new users to learn. I see how configurations can do anything to increase the confusion they already have. They either don't care and just like how it works better than without the configuration, or they're interested and use THE manual by doing the C-h's, or browsing the configurations files learning new things incrementally, when they feel like it.

For one, Screen is everywhere. I can go from system to system and it'll be there.
Also, I use a Mac and Tmux doesn't work with the Mac's clipboard; probably the biggest reason I can't use Tmux.
Screen has had vertical splitting for sometime now, just get a beta release or build from source (https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=screen). That's what I use and find very stable.
Odds are someone is going to have an account at Amazon rather than Dropbox, and when they go to the Cloud Drive site they see a massive button to upload files and get going immediately. As compared to Dropbox where the user has to download and install something first, and then go from there.
So yeah, I think Dropbox just lost a lot of potential users — sure, they may not have been the type of users who would pay Dropbox at first, but Amazon's service is only going to get better, and they're less likely to grow into a Dropbox paying user.
What is much more valuable is the quality of discussion in the comments that is really where HN shines, or used to; however you feel.
Sorry, no. I don't have any prejudice on whatever programming language you use, but you're making yourself look like a plain dumb person, period by saying that you can't be productive with Vim or Emacs with large pieces of code.
Here's just a few notable cases...Guido and Python with Vim and Emacs, Torvalds and Linux/Git with MicroEmacs, Stroustrup and C++ with Sam, DHH and Ruby on Rails with TextMate, Matsumoto and Ruby with Emacs, Zawinski and Mozilla with Emacs, Steele and Scheme with Emacs, and on and on.
Ridiculous.
There's no doubt there's competition, they're just passive aggressive about it for the most part. Jobs was quoted as saying that Google wants to kill the iPhone -- that's pretty convincing to me.
I don't think we'll see the real competition between Google and Facebook until Google unveils their social network that's been rumored.
"Approximately 86% and 91% of royalties revenue for 2009 and 2008, respectively, was derived from this contract [with Google]."
Or back in the day with "Miserable failure" going directly to George W. Bush's page.
These things have happened before.
Today it's more like you have a job for year round income like hardwood flooring or whatever and then in the Summer you have 2 jobs: whatever job you have year round and then your additional farming work.
