And my reaction was, is it really so yanky? Maybe it's not yanky enough for me to notice. Except for the handling of long lines, that's really slow. I wish it is just yanky.

However I don't understand one thing. Did the author switch to something else or he's still using emacs after this long and convoluted rant?




Long lines are 'fixed' in Emacs 29.1. They've redone bits of the engine that made it slow.


There is so-long.el which is part of Emacs since 27.1 http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/so-long.git/tree/so-long...
