What the hell is Emacs, anyway?
I'm not sure I explained it in a way that makes sense. The problem is not explaining what tool Emacs is or what kind of software; that's pretty easy: It's a text editor.
Asking what is Emacs sells it short and doesn't explain why so many people swear by Emacs every day.
Perhaps a better question is why. So, as the blog's title suggests, don't ask why; I'll explain anyway.
