Gravity

Emacs. It's massive. Actually, that's probably an understatement. I theorize that emacs is so massive that it has it's own gravitational field that eventually sucks you in, continunally adding to it's own mass.

When I first got an account on a U*NIX machine, the first thing I was taught was vi and elm. When I found out that you could edit your command line with vi commands I was very happy. But then, for some reason that is unknown to me, I started leaving my bash shells in emacs mode.

Now that I'm using Mac OS X, most of the system text dialogs obey the emacs cursor commands. Even BBEdit got on board with basic emacs cursor movement support. Anytime I'm near a Mac I'll use BBEdit over vim or emacs any day of the week though. I haven't gone completely insane.

It gets worse. Today I found myself going through the emacs tutorial. It's not the first time that I've tried to get a grasp on emacs. But the thing that scared me is that the tutorial started making sense.

Help me.
