I've been using Emacs as my day-to-day editor for coming up on 15 years now. There is a lot to be said for picking up a tool with that kind of longevity.

To amplify your comment: I'm going on 33 years, and one of the great things about emacs is how it has changed with the times.


>I'm going on 33 years

Your comment made me realize I'm about the same (ouch.)

I started on TECO EMACS on a DEC-20, then Gosling Emacs on Unix, then GNU Emacs on Unix, then various mini-emacs on PCs, finally back to GNU Emacs.

>how it has changed with the times

Heh, even a glacier will surprise you.
