### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    the book for those who don't mind to use MOUSE as a main positioning tool while develop software.
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 22, 2015*

The biggest problem with this book is that it teaches you how to use MOUSE with Emacs!!! I have a lot of experience using VIM in terminal and I was expecting that the book from oReilly about the world most popular editor Emacs will not teach you how to use mouse. For example, from the book: "To paste from the system clipboard you can press the paste icon in the toolbar or associated option in the menu bar. ... or you can press middle button on the mouse or mouse wheel. the caveat here is that you need a mouse WITH a middle button" WHAT? That the hack! You should teach hot to get rid of mouse while writing software and say "Mouse is eval, don't use it if you want to be productive and efficient." This is just not acceptable for me and I'm reading this book since I have already purchased it and I can't find any better alternative to this book. this is just ridiculous OReilly, come on!Even if I highly appreciate all the hard work to write any book, I would give this book 2 stars instead of 3... The only reason why this is 3 stars is that this book has short table of commands distilled from the whole chapter at the end of each chapter and this is works good for me the way I learn Emacs.People who read this kind of books will never ever ever use mouse as a helper to develop software, they will be using TextMate or Syblime or some heavy IDE but not VIM or Emacs.

    Terrific if you like the flavor of the Kool-Aid
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2014*

Disclaimer: I'm a Vim user, lifelong -- starting with vi on Unix System V.  I'm not here to add fuel to the editor religious wars: I switched to Emacs because I'd had a sip of the Kool-Aid, and decided I wanted more.The book is great: It fulfills its promise and will take you to the promised land.Me?  It make my hands hurt (Emacs, not the book).  My first editor in life was TECO -- the granddaddy of Emacs -- so you could say I was predisposed to the Emacs side, but it just didn't turn out that way: A lifetime of Vi/Vim was inconquerable, even by this excellent tutorial.If you're coming to the "editor wars" from a neutral country, this book is a great way to experience Emacs.  I have no complaints about the book at all.  I'm glad I own it ... it's just a shame I'll never use it again.  I've gone back where I belong.Look at my Vim book reviews if you want an unbiased (but opinionated) review of those :-)

    Learning GNU Emacs
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2018*

This is a qualified 3 stars. I am a long time Vim user; I tried vanilla Emacs 12-15 years ago and dropped it in favor of Vim due to the complex key-chords, Now on the strength of reviews of people I respect (Bailey Ling for one), I am trying Emacs again, but Evil-mode. I am slowly finding there is a LOT to like about Emacs--as used in Evil-mode.So while I like the book, it doesn't help ME much as it is all about vanilla Emacs, when I was hoping it would give me some clarity on Emacs Lisp.  It doesn't, or rather hasn't, and I don't think it will.  I purchased this book on recommendation of another in regards to learning E-Lisp, and I don't think that panned out.  OTOH, it makes very clear several aspects of Emacs, and as far as I can tell, has few typos, and should be a GREAT resource for someone wanting to learn vanilla Emacs.It doesn't suit me that well, but should serve others well, if they meet the intended audience.
