How many of you recently getting started to Emacs?

If you love :emacs:, please boost.

If you use :emacs: for under 1 year, please share your experience.

If you use :emacs: for programming or anything else, please share.

@ademalsasa started a year ago after years of modern IDE, just to use #orgmode

by now i still see the usage of emacs as no way to be my IDE of choice, because it would need many customisations.
for org tasks it is great, but to code, OMG there is so much shit to do to have something decent.

@tykayn @ademalsasa I’ve been using Helix Editor for some months now and love it.

@aral very interesting, Aral. It seems to be licensed under MPL. Nice free software.

@tykayn

@ademalsasa MIT license? So it allows building a proprietary product on top of it. Nice business opportunity :-/ @aral @tykayn

Aral Balkan

@kirschwipfel @ademalsasa @tykayn It’s under MPL, not MIT. Which means, yes, it is still (by design of the license) open to corporate capture and enclosure. Ideally, it would be under GPL but I’m not going to fight that battle right now as I have too much on. Perhaps someone else can take it on and mention the pros/cons? :)
