Pretty cool.

Emacs - Great operating system, just needs a decent text editor.

Some see it as an OS. I see it as a common environment.

GNU screen is pretty close in functionality to this (only supports vertical tiling though, as far as I know.)

Actually it only supports horizontal tiling but there's a patch for vertical tiling.

Heh, I was confused by that too. I decided "vertical" was the better word for stacking one window on top of another.

seriously, are emacs zealots really going to start calling it an OS?

I heard you can run Vim in Emacs.

You don't really got the flamewar. Vim zealots call Emacs an OS because it's bloated, not the Emacs zealots.

yeah, I guess I didn't get it. Thats probably because I use vi and not emacs though. :) I even have vi integrated into my shell.
