Myself, about once or twice per month I hit the limitation of Emacs that it doesn't handle long lines gracefully enough (where a line is long if it doesn't fit in the window, and in my cases long lines are usually tens of thousands of characters long). By the way, XEDIT is or at least was famous for just working with files of any size. Of course, it is very different from Emacs, but it, too, can be programmed in a full-fledged programming language. @screwlisp@gamerplus.org @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz
