@dt: Terminal mode emacs instances can indeed leverage the server. Just use the -nw flag with 'emacsclient' (rather than 'emacs,' which is what you used in the demo). Greybeards like me (I started using emacs in mid-eighties) used it for years before there was a truly viable graphical mode. Terminal mode is still faster, and with a properly-configured terminal (or emulator) the fontifying ("faces") are just as effective. It's the "always-works" mode for emacs :-) Love the channel, keep on keepin' on :-)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Emacs, is in fact, GNU/Emacs, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Emacs. Emacs is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Emacs, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is an Emacs, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Emacs is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Emacs is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Emacs added, or GNU/Emacs. All the so-called Emacs distributions are really distributions of GNU/Emacs!

So rather than launch standalone emacs which take 1.7 seconds, you launch emacs-deamon which takes 1.6 seconds and then launch the client which takes ~0.5 seconds. Makes complete sense. Who needs a fast and responsive editor anyway? Not emacs users clearly. It's obviously much better to have to parse and interpret untyped code with every editor command then use fast compiled code. Also much better to emulate some features of a window manager within emacs than used a dedicated program designed for the distro/environment. It looks like you also have to use emacs' idea of a terminal rather than a standard terminal emulator to iter-operate within the emacs "system". You have the added bonus of juggling interacting configs for multiple distinct tasks within one programming environment rather than logically separating them. The Unix/Linux philosophy: Write a separate program for each specific task and transfer data between them will well-defined interfaces. Lispitis: The compulsion to rewrite every program in a slow untyped interpreted language with non-lexical scoping and no interfaces. Occasionally afflicts novice coders. Also see "spaghetti code".

Thanks DT, I was doing it wrong the past three days since I was doing emacs from the terminal and I was really surprised that several things was not working well. I’m a vim user trying doom emacs for the first time and found org mode to be mind blowing feature that I started using straight away, slowly working my way to other emacs features 👍

I spend most of my time in remote terminals. If I wanted an OS within an OS emacs would be my choice. I care less for org mode nor do do I want an elisp interpreter. Its neovim for me all the way.

Please Dt do somthing !

imagine there are people who use vscode in a browser (electron) or atom. I think to compare emacs with vim is kinda dumb tbh.. it is quite the opposite
