Emacs, originalmente llamado EMACS, es una familia de editores de texto que se caracterizan por su extensibilidad. El manual de la variante más utilizada, GNU Emacs, lo describe como "the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor". El desarrollo del primer Emacs comenzó a mediados de la década de 1970, y el trabajo en GNU Emacs, descendiente directo del original, continúa; su última versión es 31.1, lanzada el 24 de agosto de 2026.

“If you are a professional writer – i.e., if someone else is getting paid to worry about how your words are formatted and printed – Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish.”
“Emacs is undoubtedly the most powerful programmer's editor in existence. It's a big, feature-laden program with a great deal of flexibility and customizability. … Emacs has an entire programming language inside it that can be used to write arbitrarily powerful editor functions.”
“C++ is a badly designed and ugly language. It would be a shame to use it in Emacs.”
“An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU Emacs would never make a good program.”
“Personally, I feel inspired whenever I open Emacs. Like a craftsman entering his workshop, I feel a realm of possibility open before me. I feel the comfort of an environment that has evolved over time to fit me perfectly – an assortment of packages and keybindings which help me bring ideas to life day after day.”
