GNU Emacs 26.2 Released With Unicode 11.0 Support

I prefer vim.

That was actually what I first wrote when drafting my post, but changed it in case anyone pedantic pulled me up over that not being the official title of the war

I prefer vim. vi has many annoyances, such as pressing backspace doesn't erase chars from your screen (when I see that behavior I think I'm not deleting anything) and not being able to use the cursor keys. Also, when pulling a Git repo and being asked to merge, I can't press Ctrl-C, otherwise this bug happens:

git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git

Who still needs releases? I cannot wait until the Cairo support in Emacs leaves the experimental stage. True Emacs addicts git-pull daily.

I never learnt vi or emacs, they are just confusing for me.
The only text-based text editor I learnt is nano, but I don't use it.

Normally I use Visual Studio Code or Atom.

This is interesting, as normally I learn about Emacs releases from the website, which hasn't been updated yet, and Arch repos were fast enough to provide the update before I found out about a new Emacs release.
