-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm pretty sure that I recall a quote somewhere comparing a programmer building an IDE with emacs being like a Jedi building their own lightsaber as a part of their training.
I know it could sound like silly enthusiasm to some, but I kind of like that idea. How did Ben Kenobi say it? "Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon of a more civilized day." I've been hunting for the original source of the quote. My searches on the net haven't turned it up. I discussed it with one of my friends who is a real emacs fan and he had not heard or seen the quote before. I'm pretty sure I didn't come up with it on my own. Would anyone be aware of an attribution to a quote like this? I'd like to repeat it.
