Neal Stephenson on Emacs
← Back to Neal Stephenson Profile
“I use Emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor.”
“If you are a professional writer – i.e., if someone else is getting paid to worry about how your words are formatted and printed – Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish.”
