Emacs and Why We Need More User-Friendly Free Software

I made an Emacs setup that I built for my wife. She’s a writer, no a programmer, so I tried to make things as simple as possible.

I think a lot of people in tech (myself included) suffer from the same case of tool-frenzy: we like building powerful tools for us to use so we can make more powerful tools. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this; it does solve some problems and it does help some people.
