a meme with two halves.
on top is a screenshot of the terminal with the following text:

the lines installing straight and building drag-stuff are highlighted in red.

Don’t look into code, you’ll find killing children.
Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )
Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

I started learning Emacs at the same time I was learning to code. Once I found Doom it was pretty straightforward. Before that…it wasn’t fun.
I’m currently trying out lazyvim, and I think the Emacs approach is a lot more accessible to beginners because:
-
it does everything on its own instead of relying on you knowing cli tools
-
:help is just sad when compared to C-h, and generally the in-editor docs and guides are a lot worse
-
Doom is a lot more opinionated than lazyvim, but it also requires a lot less manual setup
it’s doom emacs(with vim bindings). I am currently using vim but wanted to learn emacs too as org mode seems interesting
Straights can’t wear drag?

God, I love emacs
I think some people don’t understand that software can be complete/finished and not need any more updates unless a bug is reported. Software doesn’t have an expiry date.
That’s not true if people keep making breaking changes to your platform. Some people only ever experienced those platforms, so they can’t understand it.
Oh yeah, I didn’t consider the fact that emacs might have a lot of breaking changes (I don’t use it). Thanks.
Well, if you find a TeX bug, Don Knuth will send you a cheque for $327.68. good luck!
