Comment on Emacs in odd placesparent

+1. For many years I heard strange things from Emacs users about how they wanted to do everything in Emacs. It's just a text editor!

Now I'm one of those strange users. It's not just a text editor.

I view it more as it being evidence that relying on text interactions is more powerful than folks acknowledge. It can be slower, for dinner things, but usually is more resilient than binary integrations. If only because it is easy to see what it was trying to do.
