The cool kids do it.You can find many screencasts of people doing everything in terminal and proselytising the simplicity and lack of distractions of such a work flow. They don't mention the lack of features, and the pitfalls.As a result a lot of the newbie questions on stackoverflow and here are "Why dozn't M-return work with me Emacs?" and "How comez when I can't cut'n'paste from Emacs?".This is frustratingly detrimental to Emacs adoption because the new user's initial experience with Emacs is "fixing" it.On Sun, May 5, 2013 at 11:06 AM, Steven Degutis <sbdegutis@gmail.com> wrote:What's the use-case for having the terminal be able to act as an editor?
For me it's rather the other way around, I use the terminal within my
editor (eshell).
Seems like there's no real point in supporting terminal-mode in a text
editor these days.
