It's okay. Emacs is still available.

Bah. Moving from one ideologist's garden to another. Choose freedom! Choose Microsoft Paint.

Emacs runs everything if you try hard enough.

Someone has built an org mode plugin for launching steam games[1] - I don't believe anyone has yet built a steamos emulator in elisp, though.

But that just means it could be you!

I'm sure some PhD student has. Unfortunately they don't come out of their mom's attic for anything other than ramen so we'll never find out

Holy shit, that looks real.

I... Don't have words. It's beautiful. And it's terrifying.

Nano users unite and edit a few lines of code, but that's it.

I would pay for that on a shirt. That's really good.

But what about micro :P

Honestly i feel micro is a child of vim and nano. Powerful addons and visual support. With simple keybinds

Pretty great response.

Similar - some cases less* - memory overhead, fewer key presses, more features; what's not to like? Oh, the vi cabal will brigade the heck outta this one.

*Tested, on a dare.
