The "Sure, Emacs does almost everything, but when does it finally get a proper editor" jokes write themselves.

Just effing stop. This shit sounds like Y2K jokes - you're only making a fool of yourself. Lazy setup, zero insight - these jokes void of humor, irony, or even a pinch of truth. Anyone who opens their mouth about Emacs not having decent editing simply has no idea what modern Emacs can offer there. Emacs has hands-down the best plain text editing features unmatched by anything else. Don't even think of challenging me on this sentence; as someone who used a bunch of different editors, I will chew you up and spit you out like a pistachio even before the actual debate.

Okay, prove me wrong on that claim that Emacs has plain text editing features unmatched by anything else. Give it a try.

You might try taking the shells off before chewing them up, then you don't have to spit out crushed shells all over the place (a real turn-off in my book), and can swallow the nuts without lacerating your digestive system.
