Emacs Carnival 2025-08: Your Elevator Pitch for Emacs
Summary: I’m hosting the August Emacs Blog Carnival.
We’re onto month three of the Emacs Carnival and I’m hosting with the topic of “Your Elevator Pitch for Emacs.”
Those of us using Emacs 📖 have likely internalized many reasons for why we chose and keep choosing Emacs . However, in an era of a rising sea of digital slop, I’d love to read of people making a case for why one might invest time and energy in adopting or continuing to use Emacs .
And maybe that elevator is a quick one floor shift, only a blurb before the doors open; or you’re stuck in that elevator with a captive audience while the maintenance crew ambles their way to get you all out. It’s your elevator and your editor, get pitching!
