Do people really use emacs?

I thought it was the sort of thing you tell children to frighten them.

*returns to neovim*

@calum Emacs is the first thing I install on a new computer!
@robhughes ...to remind you why you don't use it? 😌
@robhughes I've just done a quick check and discovered emacs isn't installed by default with Debian. Maybe I should install it and see what it's like. I'll only have to overcome ~34 years of vi/vim/neovim usage!
@calum @robhughes I’m sure I tried it a little while on my Amiga. At that time I had mainly used TPU on VMS and really did not like vi on SunOS, until I started working in IT and started to properly learn vi and now I can’t even be arsed with VSCode and such without vi keybindings.

@bobthomson70 @robhughes I don't recall ever using a cli editor on the Amiga, despite working in the shell extensively and writing arexx scripts to automate client work in Pagestream 3 and Wordsworth.

Dear Cod I miss the Amiga and those programs.

@calum @bobthomson70 I also had an Amiga! I miss it, too.
@robhughes @bobthomson70 I see a LOT of Workbench in Gnome, KDE and even MacOS. Especially after augmenting Workbench with the likes of Magic Menus.
