Consider Emacs: it is extremely muaoldr and extremely extensible by virtue of it’s embedded Lisp interpreter. This is a strange thing to say in a paragraph talking about the Unix Philosophy, since Emacs comes from a completely different culture (MIT/ITS/Lisp vs Bell/PDP/C) and is virtually the antithesis of the Unix Way (everything in one process, communicating by function calls with rich data types).I love Emacs as much as anybody, but I wouldn't claim it has anything to do with Unix. We even had a funny name for the Unix port of Emacs ( Gosmacs ) way back when that wasn't the common place to run it!P: Have you ever tried building a medium-large-scale application (say, a project with 50-60 classes) with emacs and gcc? I’m sure it’s possible, with persistence  Yes, I'm working on a large system right now  not in C, but it has over 600 classes, and I don't know what an IDE could do for me that Emacs can't.  find-tag is just as fast with 600 classes as with 6.

w3m.el is part of emacs-w3m.

To avoid confusion, note that we have:

  • [Wikipedia:w3]: aka Emacs/W3, a text-mode web browser completely written in elisp; includes w3.el
  • [Wikipedia:w3m]: a standalone text-mode browser much like lynx. Not related to Emacs.
  • emacs-w3m: an Emacs interface to the w3m browser. Includes w3m.el, not w3.el

The w3 homepage says "Development has been dormant for a couple of years, so expect bugs due to bit rot."

w3m.el is in the emacs-w3m package, available from the emacs-w3m homepage. This requires w3m to be installed. See the emacs-w3m page for details.
