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.

Of course! Why would you argue against morons, when you can dive faster for a deeper low by arguing against facts?

fact is, whatever you think of the usability of Emacs, the resource argument against Emacs is obsolete by at least 20 years.

you're just regurgitating some crap written on usenet 20 years ago.

eight megabytes and constantly swaping. hahahahahaha ... yawn

eventually mallocs all core and swap. hahahahaha ... yawn

This one is much better (moving away from the resource use jabs):
