alt Hacker NewsEmacs is a serious tool, you choose it first and only then prioritize on the OS. It's like complaining that editing videos with Adobe Premiere on Linux is not a very solid experience, or something like that. Well, if you're a pro video-editor and you must use Premiere, then maybe you need a non-Linux box to do that?
I like to tell people that consumer OSes are just Emacs hypervisors. And it's pretty clear which are better or worse :)
