in thread Eclipse IDE with add on EPIC; Errors on the code

… Emacs, the "mother of all IDEs"…

I use emacs since 1997 or 1998. To be precise: I started with XEmacs on Windows NT and emacs-nox on SuSE-Linux. That was a big shock for my colleagues who used MacOS 9 - for them, BBEdit was the greatest thing since sliced bread. In between I've had forays into Eclipse (free and commercial versions) and IntelliJ, as well as various others whose names I've forgotten or blocked out. The most amazing experience I recently had with emacs was with rust with rustic, rust-analyzer and company. A real IDE - in blink-shell with mosh on my IPad. I use a Magic Keyboard - without a real keyboard I think emacs on the IPad is hell. So, now I'm trying to imagine how you do it on the iPhone 🤪😎. Not a bad performance, I'd say.

    Not iPhone but Android+Termux and only short code examples.

    Customization is key.

    Edit

    PS: I'm using Emacs since my second semester at university.

    There are for sure better and more intuitive IDEs, but they come and go.

    Emacs runs everywhere and stays.

    I customized it to my needs, it's actually not an IDE but an IDE construction set.

    Update

    In hindsight, modal editing in vi style might be more appropriate for mobile keyboards. 🤔

    So I will probably learn it, and take the extra step to activate vim emulation inside Emacs ;)
