Last weekend, I spent time with emacs about 2 days. I got a hook with this editor because of its plugins and numerous features. I have edited .emacs file on my $HOME; at the fist time it’s very hard. But when it’s finish, it’s a very cool editor or probably small IDE. Previously, I intimate with vim, since last 2 days I have try some emacs plugin like auto-complete, flymake, pymacs, yasnippet and a lot more. Now, I’m trying to get used to emacs. In the future, I think this could be my favorite Python IDE. If you want to use emacs as your text editor, this link may be helped.
