> Subject line says it all. Has emacs usage gone down? > ... Maybe emacs is a big centre-of-gravity, but creates no noise? Vast numbers of folk doing a lot of stuff, all contentedly getting on? That emacs has been stable over decades and looks to stay that way says it all? I quietly spend most of my time on the computer in emacs, doing what I do. I am predominantly a scientist, metallurgist, welder and welding engineer. I used to bring in a cd with a dos-emacs on it, pass it to "IT" who would scan it and declare they were fine with it, and I'd run that emacs on my work computer. Managing huge amounts of information, use the "abbrevs" to rapidly write big reports with all acronyms expanded as were abbrevs for big abstruse technical names and terms, etc. I'd text copy documents which came in as MSWord, do big amounts of scientific/technical information, then format it back in MSWord when content was all there. Separate the information and its presentation... The typesetting (eg. "LaTeX" philosophy). I'd "swing around" significant tasks knowing where I was going with it, where others were driven insane trying to do it. So yes, much work done quietly?
