The great thing about Emacs is that if your keyboard doesn't use a vanilla US layout, many of the command sequences are physically impossible to execute. It also uses raw scancodes or some such bullshit technique so that the keys you actually have to press are not the keys it says you should press. Everybody else fixed their software fifteen years ago, but since Der Stallmann is such a useless fucking cunt Emacs is, and will always be, stuck in the stoneage.

Wow, a non-free license, lots of GNU bloat, and Anonix faggotry! What an unusual combination!
>>48 The great thing about Emacs is that if your keyboard doesn't use a vanilla US layout, you can still find the commands you need because they're mostly mnemonic by default instead of hjkl bullshit.

Some of us can actually type, and thus don't have to worry about that.

The great thing about Textmate is that you can always find the commands with a DROP-DOWN MENU. It's like the future is now guys.
Actually I think Emacs is the exact opposite of Anonix principles.

TextMate is for Mac OS X, so you won't be doing any serious programming anyway. HAHA suckers, enjoy your Ruby and C Sharp!

Have fun developing Cocoa applications on Mac OS X, which you will charge $10 for because all Mac OS X developers are greedy fucktards who charage $10 for the simplest of applications. Also have fun using Objective C which is the shittiest language ever created and Mac OS X developers love it because Steve Jobs tells them to.

I will, because Mac users are so dumb they will pay $10 for GUI wrappers around open source software. You enjoy your Anonix.

I only charge $9.95 and I will choose to take "simple" as a compliment. Having features and more than one or two checkboxes in your preference pane means that you didn't think hard enough about the problem you are trying to solve. And when my development cycle is inferior to twenty hours for v1.0, I tend to sell them for $4.95 only instead.

Shareware is still around because of Mac OS X. Honestly I can't remember the last time I saw a shareware app for Windows.

Shwareware is necessary because Mac users would never let their computers get soiled with adware. If one were ever released, they would find the developer, go to his home, tie their turtlenecks together to make a rope, use that rope to lynch the developer, then go celebrate at Starbucks by using their wi-fi to make a commemorative post in their blogs.

Menus are UI nightmares. The more useful commands a program has, the worse they get. Good move, guys. Now you can make good software xor have a passable UI. Best part of OS X: all apps have menu bars. Oops.

1. Start with a plausible but unproven statement [citation needed]
2. Follow said statement with a logically sound expansion
3. Filler episode, zero content
4. A MIRACLE HAPPENS
5. Mindless OS X bashing based on #4
The opinions that you clicked I tried it a while looking for a couple years ever since I turned around and ran my original Lisp interpreter inside it Then I started when I was able to pass the time writing a filksong This meant I was stuck in the program not what they look like.
