hehe I like that it shows your position of percentage value in file, but lol how to quit it? btw every nix editor has its own way how to quit to the system.

It's not.
Emacs is one of GNU's biggest projects and mostly developed by R. Stallman himself.

skyman8081:
don't think that emacs can get away so easiliyit is just as non-intuitive as vi.

they are both equally bad.

EMACS (Escape Meta Alt Control Shift) is just plain bloated, and requires a bunch of zany keyboard shortcuts to use.

I honestly prefer GEdit on a linux system and nano/pico if I am on a console only system.

it is a better editor, and more intuitive, seeing as applications should be built with the end user in mind, and not the machine.

INCORRECT

I could make an app that has one command to do one thing, but uses a simple prompt

Or I could make an app that lets you choose between two commands. The first one is the same command as the first app, the other command is "quit".

The second is better. Why? Discoverability.

If vi is so "simple", then why can't people just sit down and use it? Why do I find myself always reaching for emacs if I'm in the terminal, or TextEdit if I'm not?

In the end, it's all preference. I abhor uglyfied cli-based pseudo apps like that. Shortcut keys are better. GUI is better still.

CLI works for simple command-like apps. Things like the destitutely bad PlayFair that I downloaded today.

Get this... you download it and build it on Mac OS X... the home platform of iTunes... AND IT CAN'T GET YOUR iTUNES KEY TO DECODE AACS. You have to have an iPod.

the only platform this *NIX app works right on is... Windows.

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK.

I like pico for console, KEdit/GEdit for simple GUI and Kate for coding.
