It seemed like a weird way to convey the content, but I found myself getting into it after a few slides, in a Zen sort of way :)

The author is Japanese, after all.

Of course, I've been a constant Emacs user since about 1990, so maybe I'm cutting him some extra slack. I love Emacs. It is so powerful and I feel that even after 23 years of daily use I'm still only touching the surface of what it can do.

In some ways Emacs has fallen behind the state-of-the-art, but the community is so vast and talented that they keep coming up with awesome add-ins to keep it competitive (thanks, guys!).



I too found the presentation much more interesting. The pauses in between each break/slide just gave me time to take in the significance. I think it was very appropriate here, and I'm glad I was introduced to this method of presentation. I think I'll use it myself some time.


It looks like the style is inspired by Takahashi Method: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_method

Though, he departs from it; with pictures and such.
