I try to not be surprised by the power and flexibility of Emacs. Having been impressed so much over the years, I've tried to come to know it as simply "awesome". That said, it's hard to not be impressed when it shows itself as even more awesome, even when you thought you were prepared for that eventuality ;)

emacs is one of those things I really would like to use, but never actually manage to bring myself to switch.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I simply rotate my flatscreen monitor to make it upright. This way i get 900x1600 resolution, and >80 lines (10pt monospace) in one screen. 32 years of emacs! Wow!

I've not been alive for 32 years.... But still learning Emacs, I still run it in viper mode. My old habits die hard. I love to troll the other unix admins at work with vi keybindings in emacs. I'm assuming you aren't rotating your screen under linux, xinerama isn't very robust on things like that.

Yep, using linux (and KDE). Screen rotation works perfectly. [stock intel 965]
