Emacs

No one will argue that, to do a good job, you need good tools. Therefore, it is very surprising to see how software people all over the world are using primitive tools to accomplish their usual very complex tasks.

GNU Emacs is one of the first products of Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation and initiator of the GNU project. It is an extremely powerful, extendible and customizable editing system capable of virtually any task that involves inspecting and modification of files. It is in no way limited to "editing text files". It can manage complex software projects, support programming, seamlessy integrates with compilers and debuggers, and can do electronic mail and more, much more.

Using the power of GNU Emacs involves some time to get used to the system and how to control it. But once this step it taken the return on investment is huge.

Squirrel Consultancy uses GNU Emacs for almost everything, including maintenance of these Web pages. We'll be glad to share our experience with you.
