I did a double take when I saw this tweet:
I prefer small editors for programming like #emacs instead of fat and slow Java-IDEs.
That is so true: https://t.co/Ic8RljDOmn

As everyone here knows, I’m all in on Emacs but I’ve seldom seen it described as “a small editor.” Emacs is many things but “small” isn’t one of them. I wondered why anyone would described it that way. I followed the link in the tweet and got the answer.
That answer is today’s red meat although for us Emacs true believers it seems more like an obvious truth.
