  just like pizza with pineapple, people do occasionally give out downright bad advice.

I really don't understand this pineapple on pizza meme. I think it's delicious!

so let me get this straight:

- read the manual - follow the tutorial - customize it to your liking

wow, what enlightening advice! this must be unique to emacs and not _any_other piece of software!

once again, all you need to get FP'd on hackernews is to put the word "emacs" in your title. zoom! to the front page!

I think that pineapple topping on the pizza meme is designed by pizza elitist to fool normal people from trying it out. Once you try pizza with pineapple toppings, it gives this extraordinary taste. Sweet, sour and salty. All at same time!

Tried pineapple pizza on multiple occasions and it never gave me a bad advice!

It's because it was not a thing in Italy, so accepting it was seen as the sign of being out of touch with "real pizza" traditions. Sadly, a natural reaction of disgusted rejection by Italians has been adopted by snobs all over the world.

Nowadays you'll find it even in Italy, because tourists demand it and they pay hard cash, so fuck it all anyway.

It would be great if every other software had documentation comparable to Emacs', but that's simply not the case.

OT: mango is another good topping.

As is emacs without the menu, the toolbar, and the scrollbar!
