Author Images

How is it that 2/3 authors have their photographs on the page? It seems appropriate to have all three or none. 209.161.228.135 (talk) 01:40, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

who is the third author? The article says there are two authors. both their pictures are present. there's even a picture of another developer who implemented EMAXlCS somewhere. 2601:547:B04:1D9E:D8C2:395C:9519:8266 (talk) 02:26, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

"Steele and Stallman's finished implementation"

The article actually mentions three authors, but is very unclear about David Moon's role. 2600:8802:5913:1700:3955:6DC8:9B6:DD5C (talk) 08:12, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

"Unlike most modern text editors, TECO used separate modes"

Eh? This is very much like vi and other modal editors. The paragraph ends with "This behavior is similar to that of the program ed" -- the editor from which vi was derived (via ex). vi was the "visual" version of ed. If the point of this paragraph is simply that TECO was a line editor rather than a visual buffer editor, there are far better ways of expressing/explaining it than conflating that distinction with the modal/modeless distinction. -- 2600:8802:5913:1700:3955:6DC8:9B6:DD5C (talk) 08:03, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

emacs vs GNU emacs

A lot of this article talks about things specific to GNU emacs, when other implementations exist without these features. There's a GNU emacs article as well, so shouldn't the emacs article be for emacsen as a whole? mgjertson (talk) (contribs) 15:49, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
