Emacs is unusable.

For the love of God - use another text editor! If it's something that requires a foot pedal to work with it normally, then... well... frankly, I'm speechless. There is a multitude of powerful contemporary text editors out there that don't require you to memorize volumes of arcane keystrokes or buy fancy hardware.

You know, I can understand and accept a lot of things, but a foot pedal for a simple text editor is really where I draw the line.

Being forced to learn a programming language just because you're forced to completely reconfigure an editor just to be able to use its basic functionality is a monument of colossal fuckwittery and forever disqualifies Emacs from being included in any discussions on "good" except as a warning.
