> Can't use Emacs on Windows? Use any other editor.

I dont understand what you are trying to say there.

My point was that not having Emacs in Windows is a non problem because the editor market is oversaturated. It's not like the Adobe suite where any other product is almost a downgrade, so running a system that can't run Adobe products would be a liability.

Not being able to run Emacs as a reason not to use Windows is like saying; Damn! PulseAudio doesn't work on Windows, guess I'm back to Ubuntu.

I am not the biggest fan of emacs but for what it is it is more on par with people saying "I dont move to Linux because it does not run Adobe products".

There is no alternative for emacs if gimp does not count as alternative for photoshop.

If that's true, then not being able to run Adobe software in Linux is not a reason to not use Linux.
