Emacs: Back to Graphical Emacs

Emacs is my favorite editor - I tried newer editors and they always push me back to emacs.

One thing I love about emacs is that I can edit on the terminal, which means I can edit text on any remote server with a basic SSH connection.

Terminal Mode - even Graphical Emacs

Using emacs in terminal mode became my default and I never looked back. Even when I would edit text locally in emacs with a full desktop client installed, I would run: emacs -nw - effectively making graphical emacs into terminal mode.

Rise of Graphical?

Recently, I started using emacs in graphical mode. I don’t remember the exact reason why. Maybe I got sick of starting tmux, then running emacs inside of it. Or I felt the window management of emacs is sufficient. Or maybe because I would only ever run a single instance of emacs. Or maybe I just like the look of razor thin lines and better fonts in graphical mode?

For now, I really like graphical emacs again when running locally.
