Open Source Emacs Software

The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim, courtesy of Spacemacs! Spacemacs is an extension of the popular text editor Emacs, that offers a whole new way of experiencing Emacs. It is a community-driven Emacs distribution that focuses on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency. Using it comes naturally to both Emacs and Vim users. In fact, you could even combine the two editing styles. Enabling you to switch between input styles makes Spacemacs a great choice for pair-programming. Spacemacs features a beautiful GUI and exceptional ergonomics, with all the key bindings easily accessible simply by pressing the space bar or alt-m. Spacemacs also comes with hundreds of curated, ready-to-use packages that are well organised in configuration layers.

Collection of Emacs Development Environment Tools

MH-E is the Emacs interface to the MH mail system. It offers all the functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of use of a GUI, and full integration with Emacs, including thorough configuration and online help. Since MH-E 8.6 was released in 2016, its development migrated to the Emacs repository. Thus, if you install an Emacs package, or check out and compile the Emacs source, then you will be running the latest version of MH-E. Consequently, we will retire this site once all of the tickets are resolved. Therefore, please help us out and submit new tickets with M-x report-emacs-bug. MH-E is now only supported in the version of GNU Emacs in which it appears. It is no longer supported in XEmacs. It is compatible with MH versions 6.8.4 and higher, all versions of nmh, and GNU mailutils 1.0 and higher.

Binary packages of GNU Emacs, made from its official, unmodified source code (either released versions or development snapshots). The goal is to enlarge the amount of people using this great editor, and hopefully contributing to its development. [I've lost interest in maintaining this project, as I see a much better approach to use Emacs: Use it from a GNU environment, that is, either a GNU/Linux machine or a Cygwin environment.]
