问一个貌似比较弱智的问题：为什么要配置Emacs呢？

[lct721521]

俺是新手，经过较长时间的复杂的思想斗争之后，俺决定先学好Emacs
前几天在俺电脑上装了Emacs22，也初步尝试了一下，没有做任何配置，也能够顺利编译、运行C/C++程序
先声明一下：俺学Linux及Emacs，只是为了做科研，做工作，并不想做专业的系统管理员或网络管理员，更不想做黑客
于是就想问一个貌似比较弱智的问题：为什么要配置Emacs呢？
先谢谢了

不懂路过,vim不配置就没法用的,这个配置估计可以提高效率吧

[lilydjwg]

因为要配置它的人觉得它不够顺手呗

毛坯房也能住，那干吗装修呢？

It's not a silly question I guess, all Emacs users will get the answer several weeks later after their first use. I am not a system administrator or hacker too. Hacker means brilliant programmer like RMS, few programmer will climb up to that status. And hacker is not a job title.

My answer to your question: configure Emacs is not essential, you can work on it with default setting. But you CAN get a performance boost if you tweak Emacs to fit your needs.

The simplest example of configuration is alias long interactive command to short one(as you set alias in .bashrc), you see, it can save a lot of time to type . Another a bit complex example is I like to type "s" to call a edebug step instead of the default "space".

So, the criterion of whether to configure are "Does the change save your input time? Do you feel comfortable with the change?", one objective and another subjective, both are important.

Another guess, your next question will be "What shall I configure in Emacs? How can I configure this and that..."

不管vim还是emacs 配置以后会更强更顺手

缺省的，通常不满意而已
其实也可以用，只有你要求不高。

[Strange]

不管是什么软件，配置都是为了符合自己的需要。
很明显，有这个问题，就是说明没这个需要，就无需配置。
随着使用的深入，渐渐有一些自己的需求，想法，这时候就靠配置解决问题。

这个问题一点也不弱智。
论坛上经常有些人随意复制人家的配置文件，然后发帖来问，为什么这样，为什么那样，这才好笑呢

谢谢楼上各位大侠的回复，特别感谢5楼和9楼的哥哥
正如5楼哥哥说的，我的下一个问题可能会在几周后提出

建议立刻换了快捷键，否则一周熟悉后想换都换不过去了。
颜色，看着不爽，要换
中文无法斜体，要换。


很神奇，中国很多非专业程序员学vim/emacs很快，反而是专业搞程序的，老抱怨vim/emacs难学。

Most programmer in China start their professional career with Microsoft tool set. The tool set focus on IDE but not command line. Vim and emacs, however, based directly on the idea of command line(M-x cmds), so people may find it a bit out-dated and hard to remember like IDE.

IDE and command line both have it's advantages, like Bach and Lady gaga have fans.
