Emacs is huge for a text editor, but it has been called an operating system for a reason. Emacs has modes for every major programming language and most minor ones it can serve as a newsreader, an email client, a web browser, terminal emulator, image viewer, and blogging client it has a package manager, Bible-study tools, a web server - you begin to see the point. Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, Haiku, Minix, Android - more or less everywhere.Įmacs' claim to fame is its extensibility, which has allowed its users to create editing modes for almost everything, really. There have been other Emacsen, including Gosling Emacs and most prominently XEmacs, but they have all been mostly supplanted by GNU Emacs. ![]() ![]() Emacs is not really a single text editor it's more a family of text editors that is almost 40 years old, starting with TECO EMACS, which was a set of text-editing macros implemented by Richard Stallman using the TECO editor/programming language, and continuing to be developed today with GNU Emacs, also created by Stallman. |
