<p>Bozhidar Batsov made an interesting observation that several people have mentioned or commented on. The TL;DR is that Batsov thinks that <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/24/emacs-is-a-lifestyle/">Emacs can be considered a lifestyle</a>. If you’re an Emacser your reaction is probably like mine: it’s not literally true but it does capture a certain truth concerning how we feel about Emacs.</p>
|

<p>For me, the essence of that feeling is captured by Stephen Ramsey’s reply to the tweet that started the whole thing off.</p>

<p>I usually express this by comparing my Emacs configuration to a Japanese garden: It’s a work that’s always in progress but never finished. The gardener spends his life improving the garden little by little and striving for a perfection that is never reached. So it is with our Emacs configurations: A neverending search for an ideal never achieved.</p> |
