The C-u C-u trick at 2:03 is such a neat hack.
Goes to show how with Emacs you don'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://youtu.be/urcL86UpqZc?si=3ew2h0iI0FIT5Zmd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/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.
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.
Am I the only (former) emacs user in this thread very confused by the "--INSERT---" line at the bottom of the screen in this video? That's clearly a vi-ism?
More than anything else I'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'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?
