I'm back on Emacs.
|
|
|
|
Somebody on the Something Awful Forums pointed out that VSCode will only be cool
|
|
for as long as Microsoft cares about it.
|
|
Given the recent banning of my LinkedIn account,
|
|
I figured it was time to go back to Emacs.
|
|
|
|
Emacs 29 really did make a lot of improvements.
|
|
|
|
I picked it back up almost instantly,
|
|
and I've already learned some new things.
|
|
I thought I would miss multi-cursor,
|
|
so I installed an emacs thing to do it,
|
|
but I'm using the built-in search/replace mechanisms more.
|
|
|
|
It has a package system now!
|
|
And they introduced a related thing that makes my ~/.emacs/init.el
|
|
pretty neat and tidy.
|
|
|
|
Eshell is still pretty great,
|
|
I've been using that quite a bit.
|
|
And they've got this new treesitter stuff that works great in Go,
|
|
is a little crashy in JavaScript.
|
|
I'm expecting a big improvement in Emacs 30.
|
|
|
|
This is all in Windows most of the time,
|
|
although I'm using it in Linux too.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I'm back on Emacs now.
|
|
I think I'm probably done trying out new editors.
