In about 2004, i took another look and switch back to Emacs. XEmacs actually has a build-in web browser written in elisp Another example: At the time around 1997, web isīooming. Reader VM, which is far more usable than Emacs's ancient Another example: XEmacs is bundled with a email ForĮxample, one of the major problem in emacs is that when you press theĭown arrow key at the end of a file, it will actually insert line Time, is quite more user friendly, and has many features not in emacs.
Time, my job is to developing web application software and do unix sysĪdmin work, primarily thru telnet/ssh on remote unix servers, and iĬonsider syntax coloring absolutely necessary. The primary one is thatĮmacs lacks support of syntax coloring when used thru telnet. In 1998 or 1999, i switch to XEmacs because Emacs lacks criticalįeatures for my software development needs. I use Emacs daily for perhaps more than 8 hours every single day since and still do so today. I started using Emacs since 1998 in professional software development settings. For 2 years, 1991 to 1992, i worked as a secretary and typist. I'm a QWERTY touch-typist since about 1988.
This page is a summary account of my experience with Emacs vs XEmacs.
