Learning GNU Emacs sparked a religious conversion for me -- as a longtime
user of vi, that lean, durable, utility, I have always held Emacs
in disdain. Until I started paging through this book! Suddenly, I'm
ready to release all my command-mode finger memory and start
anew with Ctrl and Meta keys. And why? Because the authors set forth,
step by step, exactly what Emacs can really do for me. Looks like ssh
just finished compiling in the bash window of my Emacs session, so
I will leave this review and scroll through the INSTALL file in the top window.
I wouldn't be doing this without this book.
