emacs

The editor I stopped using a long, long time ago, for three reasons:

• It doesn’t come installed by default on all UNIX machines (which happens to be a good thing)
• It’s become bloated as hell – a fact only disguised by the fact that Linux distributions have gotten so big it’s only 10% of a minimal install that includes it.
• There’s a Usenet newsgroup called alt.religion.emacs (and it’s a very old newsgroup). I am now one of the truly enlightened, and see no real reason for going back (although it’s scary how I still remember some key bindings).

• mg, a micro-edition with surprisingly extensive functionality, and which is actually bundled with macOS.
• Aquamacs, a native Aqua build by David Reitter
• Versor, multi-mode cursor navigation.
