All that Emacs needed to grow the popularity is this channel, I love your videos <3
-
The Linux community needs more people like you!
-
I like how practical and useful features that you have highlighted. So far, I've used about half of them, excited to try the rest!
-
Thank you. It's nice to have an introductory level video about some basic things possible in emacs. Very nicely done!
-
What a great find was this channel! I'm definitely watching all the videos
-
Man, thank you very much. Really great EMACS stuff on this channel.
-
Can't wait to see what you've got in store, also haven't made my way through all of your currently uploaded content! Keep up the good work!
-
this channel is my favorite source of emacs knowledge
-
Man, your videos are everything we were missing from the emacs community... please keep going, this channel really have valuable content
-
I had to come back to Windows 10 late last year because of a ton of work I've yet to finish on some documents that refuse to work nice with Libre/etc. Once I'm done I will move back to Linux and give Emacs a go, I've been saving your videos for this purpose haha. Thanks for the amazing work you put into your channel! Really appreciate it :)
-
Can't wait to learn more about elisp through your videos
-
omgoodness im glad i found this channel!!!
-
Thanks David, loads of reasons to give Emacs a try. Great review of what you've covered. I've still got a lot of work to make Emacs function the way I want. Thanks for your videos they have been fantastic. Best wishes for 2021.
-
Your video is actually pretty good. Subscribing and gonna look into your emacs config later.
-
Great job on continuing to demystify Emacs! Now I understand it CAN be a productivity tool, once you get to know it. Looking forward to demystifying Emacs LISP!
-
Thanks for the informative video. I'm an emacs(doom emacs) noob but I am definitely into learning emacs. I went with doom because I am a long time vim user but your setup with the nice background looks even better! Maybe I should start fresh with gnu emacs and use evil mode
-
You did inspire me to invest a bit of cash in buying some physical books, about the basics, GNU EMACS 3RD EDITION, and EMACS LISP AN INTRODUCTION. I found each online, but decided they're worth owning physical copies of, in print. I expect that I'll get even more from your videos while also studying these, simultaneously.
-
David is on fire again, thanks for another awesome video
-
Very impressive video. One of the best explanations of the power of emacs. Subscribed!
-
the single best resource for anyone looking to learn emacs
