Re: Getting into Emacs?

I ran across this in Hunt and Thomas's The Pragmatic Programmer:

EMACS
The ultimate in big editors, containing every feature that any editor has ever had, Emacs has a near-vertical learning curve, but repays handsomely once you’ve mastered it. It also makes a great mail and news reader, address book, calendar and diary, adventure game, ...

I thought they were joking.

I got very drunk last night, and definitely enjoyed myself. Now it's morning, I'm pushing through a little hangover, and I found a ~600 page Vim guide (PDF) on my desktop. I don't know how it got there, who it was written by, or anything along those lines, but I do know that it wasn't there last night. The filename is "vimbook-OPL.pdf". Anyway, I think this is an eery sign that I should go with Vim.	[reply]
