At what point in your life did you realize that GNU Emacs is

When I decided to learn it over vim
I've thought about learning vim later, but having to do shift+semicolon every two seconds to input a command would be horribly uncomfortable for me.

I've been using Vim for over a decade and am slowly transitioning to Emacs.
I always hated Vimscript. LISP is so much cleaner.

When I realized that "most powerful" means "easiest to modify in ways nobody ever should".

>>59268062
The moment I realized that if I wanted to be proficient in it, I had to waste endless hours to learn a new language, a new editor and read shitloads of manuals/books to perform task readily available in other editors.

A year and a half ago.

emacs is a superb operating system but a poor text editor.

>>59268062

Last summer, when I decided to start using spacemacs. While a superb editor it does have some flaws, for instance I have never experienced a vim crash, but I've had spacemacs crash plenty of times. This happened because of various layers/plugins though, and it's a small price to pay.

But any real bigmacs pro would bind Ctrl and meta to the keys directly to the right of the spacebar so you can use your thumb.

elisp is slow garbage, literally any other lisp is better

Na, I like UNIX too much to switch.

A few years ago. I still use vim, though. Even with evil mode, I don't feel ready to use emacs full time.

this is gonna sound retarded but i was reading the examples here and trying to replicate them in emacs
https://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/index.html#%28part._.Objects%29
i noticed that for some reason emacs' automatic indentation DOESN'T let me align the brackets like in the example, everything needs to be on its own line

is there a way to fix it?
