Emacs

The first text editor I used on GNU/Linux was vi. And I kept using vim for a few years because all I wanted to do most often was edit a file quickly and save it (although vim can do lot more than that).

But vim always goes with emacs and I was convinced that I had to learn emacs too. I must have tried learning emacs at least 5 times before getting hooked to it. Each time before that, I’d totally hate how the most basic things are so difficult on emacs. And then I came across this beautiful, fantastic tutorial while learning clojure. And that’s when I realized what emacs is.

Emacs has to be taught of as a programming language, rather than as a text editor.

Everything in emacs is a lisp function call.
