Yes, #Emacs. You can render SVG. Very clever. But I actually want to *edit the text* of the file (you know, in a text editor. Like... oh, $DEITY, never mind).

Yes, Emacs, you almost certainly do have some weird key combination to switch back to ACTUALLY BEING A TEXT EDITOR, but I don't know it, and, being Emacs, you're too damned arrogant to make it discoverable.

Typing `<esc>-x svg` and hitting tab produces nothing.

Why do I still waste disk space on this piece of crap?

@simon_brooke #Emacs is like #transubstantiation: hugely absorbing to a tiny minority of fundamentalist keyboarders/believers, but an irrelevance to the majority of computists/christians.

@2legged @simon_brooke Only if. Emacs caters to more users, experiences and workflows than any software I've seen. Open C-h h and see how many languages Emacs supports. Ever heard of using languages like Persian that require bidirectional editing? Do you know how many editors do that properly?

Those who have an agenda and ideology to portray something in a certain way will always do so, try keeping your tainted lenses aside and give it a go without assuming & spreading hostility.

@divyaranjan I simply noted that emacs is a small minority taste.

Your accusation that i am pushing an "agenda and ideology" is a malicious falsehood.

Your accusation that i am "spreading hostility".is another malicious falsehood. I felt no hostility and I intended no hodtility. Nothing I wrote conveyed anny hint of hostility or implication of hostility.

Now go away, and take your anger and your lies somewhere else.
