For C/C++ and emacs, try rtags: https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags

It's clang-based, so suffers from none of the tags-type issues: it's context-sensitive, and can see straight through gnarly stuff such as identifiers generated by token pasting.

Good points:

- Only mildly fiddly to set up

- Code browsing works well

- Code completion works well when it works

- Cute gcc/g++/etc. wrapper trick means you don't have to change any build settings

Bad points:

- Making it work with code you haven't built yourself on your local system (e.g., 3rd party stuff that's not complete, code for another platform) is less straightforward

- Code completion sometimes doesn't work with certain files (and for no reason that I've ever been able to figure out)

- It's probably my own limitations but I found it extremely inconvenient to debug (internally it's surprisingly complicated: separate client and server, lots of lengthy command lines, client code writes elisp code to stdout and elisp in emacs eats it up, the actual completion popup is a separate package, etc.)

There is [1]. I'd like to find a package that saves the layout in a form that regenerates the screenshot in a terminal when you cat the text file it outputs.

Text-mode can help focus on the task at hand without distraction. It also facilitates speedy, transparent work on remote servers.

I tend to use a single maximized app in a GUI environment, often running emacs, though I do like to split the screen in half to allow two full-page, focused views (e.g., code editor and browser). And when helpful, I'll pull up more windows.

See also http://lifehacker.com/5689579/five-best-distraction-free-wri... for others who have felt the need for focused tools that remove the distractions of multiple window environments.

Stallman has always been pretty anachronistic. Sometimes I think he's trolling us: http://lwn.net/Articles/262570/

"For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have not net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me. It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time."

Text mode, I can understand. No terminal emulator is faster, and if you have lots and lots of text, there's a difference. There are even MP3 players that work in the console, and the windows+left and right keys shortcuts work great to switch between the open terminals.

But the attitude of 'I won't even take a photography of my screen for a semi-noble purpose, something thousands of people do for spurious purposes, because I will not give up an inch of self righteousness, ever'.

That's what gets me.

This is not an screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/sEygQyP.jpg

It's only a photography, but it works just as well.
