Emacs is unbounded, i.e. infinite because it is based on logic, which is based on Logos, i.e. causality. That means Emacs is like the causeless cause 'Chaos' or 'Parabrahm,' but so are other ideals. Emacs is logical is congruent to Logos whether you call it static or dynamic because Perl is also based on Logos. However Emacs is a text editor so it edits texts about causality and in that sense it is part of the creative Monad of causality, because it can define what causality is and you can name your Emacs binary causality so it will be congruent to that. In that sense it is infinite because causality means the eternal nature of law that is the cause of the universe. That is how excellent Emacs is.

I'm convinced. Good riddance to that crappy, finite, impossible-to-rename-binaried text editor.

Seriously though, I may try emacs one of these days.

Yes, I have. I've tried it. I went through the tutorial and it made quite a bit of sense. I think it's logically consistent and not as finger-bending as people have lead me to believe. You just have to type correctly and not try to do too much with one hand all the time. That being said, I still prefer vim.

I've learned some good tricks in vim. I should probably make a list, translate them, and then force emacs use for a week.
