#112Good god. I've been using emacs since 1981 and this thread is teaching me things.
I've "only" been using it since 1998, but I always skim threads like this -- even lots of short articles -- because there's nearly always something new to discover! Sometimes it's hard not to gush, but it's just such an amazing and organic piece of software.
