====== Emacs ======

[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/|Emacs]]
is an actively developed open source text editor for code and prose old enough to have heirloom configuration files.((Emacs predating common keyboard shortcuts. But it's defaults are the inspiration for many used by readline (bash, zsh shells) and nano.))

It has it's own [[https://www.emacswiki.org/|wiki]] and [[https://emacs.stackexchange.com/|stack exchange]]

Emacs advocates point to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect|lindy effect]] ((tech's "life expectancy" is proportional to it's current age.)) and GNU community roots to argue Emacs is a safe investment. While, detractors point to the need for investing time to learn as a reason to avoid Emacs.
