@Riiye I guess the reason is Emacs as soon as you get over the learning curve you can really speed up your programming by a lot. I am learning Emacs and Vim and I have to say I prefer these over an IDE even though I sometimes use Code Blocks I usually use Gvim or Emacs. :) Hope this helps.

Am I missing something here... this massive amount of key commands is just a headache? Just me? I've used emacs and it just seems like making a massively advanced program to do something quite simply. As for coding, I'd never chose emacs over a proper IDE like Netbeans. Please fill me in if I've missed the point here.. why is emacs popular?

@mudbloodslut ....if you know what you are doing you can do whatever you want... also why the fuck am i responding to a 1 year old troll comment

hi, very cool keep it going,, p.s. -nw means --no-window-system at least in emacs manual

How can I make it so whenever I open a file, there are two buffers, one with the file and the other with a shell? It's kinda a pain to do it manually every time I use Emacs.
