Oh, I’m sorry. Discussions of emacs are reserved for the religious forum. (LOL) Only if someone else mentions vi, the text editor that's better than poking your eye out with a sharp stick.
Ah, yes, emacs: the best operating system ever that included a free text editor. :-)
I don't engage in religious arguments, been avoiding them for 35+ years. Actually 45+ if you include TECO, the editor that masquerades as line noise.

All well and good as long as you're a pure Linux shop.
The objective of DSC is to provide a common platform and scripting language for cross platform management.

Um exactly how is this "the new Microsoft"? The "old Microsoft" wouldn't have been the least bit interested in helping you manage those Linux boxes. They'd be telling you that you need to rip them out and replace them with Windows servers.

>The "old Microsoft" wouldn't have been the least bit interested in helping you manage those Linux boxes. And they still aren't. They are interested in admins switching to their tools (i.e. Powershell), instead of MS providing a loosely coupled set of POSIX shell based tools, adopting the U*inx way, which has been in use for decades.
More proof it's still the old Microsoft, they just change their logo every few years and self proclaim they are really, really different this time.
