@atoponce The first time you get on that bus, if you didn't pick up the instruction brochure at the bus stop, you can't figure out how to sit in a seat.

@atoponce πŸ˜‚ I had a prof in college who was a whiz in vim. It was scary to see how good he was in it. Concert pianist-level stuff lol

Not as long as you have a working colon.

@atoponce I was so happy back in the day when the #UNIX I was using got SMP support. Then #emacs had a CPU of it's very own.

I used to use mh-e inside of email as my mail user agent for years, back when I used MH at the shell for email. And gdb-mode and lots of other things.

The most bizarre was the editing mode I configured for UNIVAC 1100 assembly code; came in handy for the UNIVAC TCP/IP stack that I was an author of back in 1981 or so and we got FTP working on the mainframe..

emacs: one-stop shopping for all your computing needs.

@lmamakos @atoponce that was a complete workshop indeed.
I got into emacs when learning lisp (of course). Sometimes emacs keyboard shortcuts fires for no reason in my vscode or word ​​
