Why is graphical emacs so ugly?
- by Michael Gummelt
Every hacker I know uses terminal emacs. Graphical emacs is hideous. The default text is huge and out of place, and the borders are much bigger and blockier than in any other application. Everything I've read about switching the font is confusing and completely different than the font selection used by other applications (I'm on Ubuntu).
Does anyone actually use graphical emacs (vs -nw)? If so, how do you make it bearable?
