Free Text Editor for Coders

GNU Emacs is a special programme that is designed to make text editing a breeze. This is ideal for coders and programmers who are working with different interfaces and looking for a way to translate and edit their work quickly and conveniently so that it can run in the format of their choice smoothly and efficiently.

Time to Get Coding

One of the great things about GNU Emacs is that users can customise it in a wide range of different ways to create the exact look and feel that they want. The programme comes with a command line interface that is particularly easy to use, while users can opt for the graphical user interface if they prefer. The integrated Lisp dialect also paves the way for smooth customisations that people who have been stuck with rather rigid and inflexible text editing programmes in the past are sure to find a breath of fresh air.

Are You one with the GNU?

Although getting to grips with GNU Emacs can take a bit of time and patience, users who make the effort are sure to be glad that they did. Not only is this software free of charge, it comes complete with fully customisable options so that the user is able to manipulate to meet their individual needs and there are numerous different types of applications that GNU Emacs can be used for.

  • Pros

    • Fully customisable
    • Free to install and use
  • Cons

    • Comes with a steep learning curve
    • IDE features need to be set up

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
