You better believe it!
With all the bad rep Emacs has got lately -
I mean, it can't even handle cpp projects with
a few million lines OOTB - let me ask, can them
other editors and IDEs, that are better, and
have a less steep learning curve than Emacs,
can _they_ do their "Gnuses" and are they
really better than ours as well? Allow me
to be - doubtful!
Like the saying goes, Gnus is to Emacs users
what Emacs is to other users :)
Gnus is actually so good, it is
counter-productive to many people.
Myself included! Instead of doing something
sensible, I do Gnus. But I gave up the
productivity hunt a long time ago. No I just
want to enjoy myself, and I do enjoy Gnus.
Maybe in a year or two, when my brain has
healed God willing, I be looking for
productivity again - who knows!
But I did so much of it to last for several
lifetimes already, at least it feels that way -
and what did it give me? Don't know. Don't want
to know!
But Gnus I know! Well, a fraction of it :)
