2021-03-19 | Why is Emacs the best or why IDEs are useless
Emacs is a text editor written by GNU, You might say "bu-but my IDE does everything!" and that is true, but you're forgetting about the most crucial part of software development; Editing text. Many IDEs I've used had poor text editing capabilities compared to Emacs. A very trivial example is the fact that most IDEs don’t even have keybindings optimized for touch typing - they require you to move your hands often from the home row (such a waste) and have mouse-centric UIs. Elisp makes Emacs so powerful that it became infinite in its capabilities and features, you can literally do anything with Emacs, try to run CLion as your WM.
