Those who enjoyed this should also have a laugh at:<p>&quot;Vim Exit% Speedrun [WR - 2.50:13]&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=TLbfqZBL8t8">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=TLbfqZBL8t8</a>

The C-u C-u trick at 2:03 is such a neat hack. Goes to show how with Emacs you don&#x27;t have to compromise between customization and productivity: a true hacker can have both.

I know this is a joke, but people should really give Emacs a try.<p>Check out this interview about Emacs if you’re not convinced:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;urcL86UpqZc?si=3ew2h0iI0FIT5Zmd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;urcL86UpqZc?si=3ew2h0iI0FIT5Zmd</a>

Not funny. Double flagged by click on flag button twice.<p>If Stallman ever figures out how to watch YouTube in Emacs, someone is going to be in big trouble.

I am not sure I approve of the inner mysteries being so paraded in public.

This is fairly accurate.<p>Of course, you should really be using the Doom module or Spacemacs layer to add another level of abstraction that will definitively fix any issues you might have run into.

It&#x27;s actually very easy to type blimpy in ed, the standard text editor.

Couldn&#x27;t have found this video at a better time - I have an assignment on blimpy due tomorrow.

In conjunction with the power of Magit this is going to make cranking out those pesky commit messages so much easier.

I opened vim and tried to type &quot;blimpy&quot; and nothing happened. I also can&#x27;t quit.

Why would I use blimpy-mode when you can access blimpytyper.net from any machine anyway?

A lot of people don&#x27;t know how.

Actually funny video, shows how absurd emacs can get. Although you don&#x27;t know, someone might earn a living typing blimpy or a similar thing

Am I the only (former) emacs user in this thread very confused by the &quot;--INSERT---&quot; line at the bottom of the screen in this video? That&#x27;s clearly a vi-ism?

More than anything else I&#x27;m confused by the positive response this is getting.<p>* Very few people use Emacs<p>* Anyone who nevertheless is using Emacs should be willing to read documentation. The only way to learn Emacs is through reading the docs.<p>* As illustrated, copy-pasting a use-package clause is an easy way to get started with something. The pain point is the alternative ways to set a package up that are distracting.<p>* This doesn&#x27;t hit the traditional Emacs stereotypes of crazy keyboard chords, insane customisability or digs at lisp syntax.<p>Can anyone articulate why there is a group of people who seem to really like this video?
