Emacs is great if all you want is to play a lovely tetris game, run a lovely IRC client, and work in a lovely IDE. MS Visual C++ is way better for developing C/C++/C# apps than Emacs is. Good things about Emacs: it has modes for obscure programming language indentations that no other editor has. It is probably the best editor for Haskell. It is a better general purpose text editor than anything else (for small files). It has a better interface for choosing your file from a directory than anything else. You can configure the gently caress out of it. You can write programs that access the internet with it. It's pretty good for opening PDFs and PNGs. You can get rid of the scroll bar and menu bar and poo poo gets out of your way. I used to have a Hacker News emacs mode as a toy. I think others exist for the same purpose. You can use it on Windows. Weird things about Emacs: When it tries to do I/O and gets EINTR, it reports this fact back to the user. It's better for Dvorak users than Qwerty users.

I don't edit my logs that often though and when you get up to GB log files you should probably not be trying to read them by hand. So much for the power of incremental search.

Brackets are shift--/shift-= on my keyboard layout, and I deliberately switched to it away from Qwerty.

At my current employer his reaction was "oh good, you're not one of those vi users" (who were in the majority). At my previous employer most of us used VS for most work (it was C#) but my boss used Emacs. What do IT guys have to do with anything?

I'm more a fan of (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t), but that's because my coworkers are the ones adding it from time to time and I don't want to muck up the codebase with merge conflicts.

I thought it inserted tab characters, not spaces, by default.

I mean it'll still magically indent C and C++ by default, with two space indentation or 2+2=4 GNU indentation. But when it gets up to 8 or more spaces you start getting tabs instead of spaces. It doesn't just indent code with a tab character per indentation level or anything sane.

Edit: Okay so anyway a real comment, perhaps. Make the header files named with .hpp instead of .h. Or: put those little file-mode things in the header in a comment. Or: make emacs look for a foo.c and foo.cpp file when opening a .h to figure out what kind it is. Or: make emacs search for "class" or other C++ keywords or C++ headers. I don't know. shrughes fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Feb 22, 2014 |

I've met him in person at a meetup, he's a nice guy as far as I can tell.
