You say "Use a modern editor"
And you use emacs??
Heh!!

And its not just that emacs is one of the oldest pieces of software in use today
that I am talking of

Its decades of crud that really gets me
eg. What do Control-X/C mean on any App of your choice today?
And what do they mean in emacs?

JFTR I am an emacs user for some 20+ years
Its just that not only do my 20- year old students not tolerate emacs, of late they
stop tolerating me if I use emacs!!

What do they prefer as an editor?  Gawd knows!
Web browser maybe?? More likely a phone...
