You've never run them in a terminal?

When I run Emacs with a blank config, the default display has this:

    Get help           C-h  (Hold down CTRL and press h)
    Emacs manual       C-h r        Browse manuals     C-h i
    Emacs tutorial     C-h t        Undo changes       C-x u
    Buy manuals        C-h RET      Exit Emacs         C-x C-c
    Activate menubar   M-`

and in Vim, there is no such display.

You can’t run VSCode or Atom in a terminal, so I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.

???

I'm not making that comparison.

GP's post was in response to the complaint that Emacs/Vim are hard to exit. They said that "Or, you know, you could just click on the File menu and click on Quit."

And I'm just saying you can't do that in the terminal.

Not sure what you're going on about.

Your terminal doesn't have a way to exit it?

Are you suggesting a good way to quit vim/emacs is by exiting the terminal?
