Everything you need to know before try Emacs

What you need to know before try Emacs.
When it comes to Emacs, every programmer should have heard its name more or less. After all, Emacs has nearly forty years of history. However, many users abandon Emacs before comfort with it due to the steep learning curve. I understand their frustration, I also made many attempts before “skilled” in Emacs. After spend honey moon with Emacs for four years, I think I can share what I learn from Emacs and it’s best if it’s beneficial for newcomers.

I open this link very quickly, and I like what I saw that, and definitely. I will definitely read more carefully this blog post because I started using emacs, and I came from vim, and sometimes I have this feeling I am missing something…
