I was wondering if Emacs was considered to be gui based WP or cli-based?

Does it matter a great deal? I normally classify it as CLI-based, because it runs fine on a virtual console without X running, but that's just an opinion.

And is it stilled updated?

Most definitely. They release a little slowly (Emacs 1 dates from 1976, and the current version is 21.2, so that's less than one release a year), but it is still being worked on.

Noone of it. Emacs is an OS which pretends to be an editor. :-)

Hi, all!
Hi, Matthew!

The emacs we're talking about is afaik the *GNU emacs* that Richard Stallman gave to the unix community long time ago. There is actual a version called xemacs which one could consider a *gui-editor* (or whatsoever).

But to be honest, I don't use either.
My editor-of-choice is vi and I'm not familliar with both, GNU emacs and xemacs. Maybe smbdy else on this list can give you more advise on that.

Bye, Matthias

No, Emacs is a religion. ;-)

(snip)

I use GNU Emacs all the time. And I love it. I use the viper mode, in which you can use the vi commands to edit.

Anyway you could probably ask your question at

To ask a question you don't need to subscribe to that mailing list (I think so).

Cheers,
