Emacs with orgtbl mode used to create a HTML table.

Creating HTML tables by hand can be painful, however thanks to orgtbl mode (which comes with org mode) Emacs users can edit tables in friendly way and later "send" (as org mode calls it) the data into a HTML source code. Inserting new columns and rearranging them is a single key binding!

What makes org (and orgtbl) mode even more powerful is the spreadsheet capabilities. You can define formula which will be used to calculate values of given cell or a group of cells (ie. a column). And because the underlying evaluation mechanism is Emacs' calc mode you can calculate almost anything! That includes integrals, differentials and Taylor's functions!

What else has been shown on the video is the spell checker and auto completion.

    I recently wrote Vim Table Mode - github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-tab­le-mode

    So yes, my editor can do this, in fact (IMO) even more easily.

    emacs is a powerful Operating System but it lacks a good editor...

    Not true. It has a great editor. And Linux is one of its bootloaders.

    emacs is cool and insanely powerful. You can even play elite on it!! The main reason I switched to Vim was that Vim is preinstalled almost everywhere, and startup time is much better. But emacs would still be my second choice! :)

    For quick start up I use emacs in daemon mode. It starts just once and runs in the background. It has additional benefit that I can run it on multiple terminals and all share the same context.

    By that logic, you should just stick to typewriter.

    Sure. If you are doing only HTML stick to HTML editor. If you are doing only Java stick to Java editor. But if you are doing stuff in many different languages the advantage of specialised tools are overpowered by disadvantages of having completely different environments.

    For my needs of HTML editing, Emacs has everything I need, and since I edit in like a dozen other languages as well, I value the raw editing power and consistency of Emacs.

    Duh, startup time is a non-issue if you use emacsclient.

    LOL! LOL! LOL!

    I just don't like all the CTRL + commands. Vim seems a lot more "ergonomic" and light weight.
