I ' m actually not much of a speed demon , despite the stereotype of BMW drivers . The get up go certainly helps in merging though . <| sep |> I moved across the country with my last SO of three or so years , and it didn ' t work as well as we hoped . I have a new awareness of the gravity associated with giving myself to another human being , and I haven ' t felt comfortable fully opening up that way just yet . <| sep |> This guy ' s response is so smart ass . Ignore him . Emacs is not a terminal but you can run a terminal within emacs . Emacs is not an ssh client but it can run ssh in the terminal that it is emulating and it can also edit files remotely using scp or sftp . Emacs in not a window manager but it does manage it ' s own windows in a manner very similar to a tiling window manager . Emacs is a text editor but it also does other things . His response is so unhelpful .
