I just wanted to share this because it looks sooo good! Also keep in mind this is emacs on TERMINAL.
That’s… very commendable. Of course, nothing to do with emacs, but hey, whatever works for you. Also, “dark mode” is a myth.
What are you talking about?
That this screenshot could belong in any of a 100 other forums dedicated to a 100 other programs. What about it has anything to do with emacs?
Light mode tires my eyes.
First, you’re imagining. Second, having to switch all day between your dark modes and the rest of the world (sites, documents et al) that are on white background is much more “fatiguing” to your eyes, but you don’t notice that because you convinced yourself that drawing colorful characters on a blackish background is better.
I try light mode every couples of weeks because of exactly that reason (“rest of the world is light mode”) but after a few days I can’t stand it for code editing, maybe is my monitor.
Threads like this make me wanna try emacs
Don’t. Its a black hole and your ROI will be negative.
Me preparing my teaching using Emacs/org-mode. I don’t know any other software that gives me this perfect balance between eye candy (although I had to work for that) and extreme usability. I mean, sure, TeXmacs or LyX may make the notes even a bit prettier, but good luck navigating them or using those for organization of, like, anything.
Once you learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance a system in a way that fits your need, yes, good luck using another tool that you now need to learn how to navigate, customize, workaround and enhance to use in a way that fits your needs, ha!
Well there’s the teensy-weensy difference that emacs/org is designed with effective navigation and organization as two of its main purposes, while TeXmacs or LyX are built for different purposes and have no ambition of shifting their scope to navigation/organization.
Like… PowerPoint is Turing complete so I could just use that too, but there’s a reason I don’t use that for coding or project management and it’s not just that I’m conservative…
sorry this isn’t related to the post but if you don’t capitalize the C in “calculator” i will lose my mind
Fellow terminal Emacs user here.
Looks real nice!
