If you want to use Emacs, but you:
- just want to sit down and have your new text editor work well and look good right away, and
- don’t want the complexity, abstraction, and lack of documentation of a larger Emacs distribution or configuration framework,
then Quake Emacs is for you.
Text editors are most often used for three core tasks: code editing, writing, and note-taking. Quake Emacs is a single-file Emacs distribution architected around those three fundamental tasks, aiming to provide a lean, fast, focused, and complete experience for all three right out of the box, while remaining as simple and vanilla as possible, so you can use it as a great foundation for bare-metal Emacs configuration.
