Re:Making Emacs Popular Again by arsdragonfly on Friday May 08, 2020 @01:58AM (#23111823)
The most unfixable UI problem for Emacs is that its rendering model works upon "character cells and cursor positions, not pixels."[1] No amount of effort would steer Emacs's UI away from an ortholinear matrix of characters. Whenever you install an LSP plugin on Emacs, you'll realize how badly it hurts readability and your eyes. [1]https://m.facebook.com/notes/daniel-colascione/buttery-smoot...
