Wendy's Emacs Rant
Emacs is a Writer's Best Friend.
I was a Word Power User.
I knew everything. I could align font sideways, search and replace hidden formatting markup, make tables & images behave. Now I use Emacs. There was a learning curve, yes. But once I knew Emacs, I never looked back. Edits are so easy in Emacs.
Forward a character, word, line, sentence. Back a character, word, line, sentence. Top of document. EOD. Narrow to region. Cut rectangle. Kill, yank back.
"Edits easy in Emacs, writer claims.",/B>
In Word, it's sooo slow. Move your mouse, scroll, mouse, click, arrow, drag, select. Everything a mouse chore, even using the keystroke menu commands.
Emacs Rocks!
