What even is emacs
An extremely extensible text editor, there's jokes that it can do literally anything, you can play music, watch video, etc.
It's often at war with the cult of vi and the church of emacs.
You should really convert to helixism, the latest messianic update to the cult of vi.
It's probably this, for all of you whou didn't know Helix before, like me: https://helix-editor.com/
Indeed. Make sure to start it with
hx --tutorthe first time around so you know how to quit :)And no matter what you do when giving it a try do it in a time and place where you can go at least a week without vi as the command grammar is close yet different enough to completely confuse your muscle memory, you don't want to mix them up (helix uses a strict selection-action command set so you get 'wd' instead of 'dw' and stuff).
